If your droplet is using digital ocean’s Ubuntu mirror, the problem is their security mirrors do not have libssl 1.0.1-4ubuntu5.12 on them at this time, despite their efforts. <br> <br>You can work around this by editing /etc/apt/sources.list, comment out the 6 lines for precise-security on mirrors.digitalocean.com, and uncomment the 6 lines below that refer to security.ubuntu.com. <br> <br>Then follow the instructions in the above post. <br>

The DO mirror is now working for 12.04 LTS, at least on one of my droplets. So, for others: <br> <br>I suggest trying a standard apt-get update/upgrade (or unattended-upgrade) first, and if you don’t see libssl1.0.0 in the upgrade list, then try changing the sources. <br> <br>Check installed version with: dpkg -l | grep openssl <br>

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade <br> <br>
