[Bug 1794589] Re: libssl1.0-dev conflicts libssl-dev

Default implementation of openssl in bionic is 1.1.1.
There is a small amount of packages that uses openssl1.0 at runtime in bionic, because packages in question did not migrate to 1.1.1 in time for bionic release.
It is not possible to co-install openssl 1.1.1 & 1.0 development headers and there is nothing that Ubuntu can do to fix that.
nodejs was explicitely set to use openssl1.0 in bionic.
Note that switching development headers from 1.1.1 & 1.0 is relatively painless and easy, and it should not result in any runtime libraries being removed or switched around.

Bug description:
  [impact]

  The libssl1.0-dev package conflicts with the libssl-dev package, so
  this leads to all packages that depend on libssl1.0-dev to conflict
  with all packages that depend on libssl-dev; as well as all packages
  that depend on those packages (and so on).

  [test case]

  On a Bionic system (or Cosmic), install libssl-dev, and/or any package that depends on it:
  http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/rdepends/v1/bionic/any/libssl-dev

  Then, try to install libssl1.0-dev, or any package that depends on it:
  http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/rdepends/v1/bionic/any/libssl1.0-dev

  see comment 15 for an example of some packages that are force-removed
  when installing libssl1.0-dev, due to conflict.

  [regression potential]

  TBD after fix is determined

  The fix for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nodejs/+bug/1779863
  is, not surprisingly, somewhat traumatic for some users.

  In my case, installing libssl1.0-dev causes libcurl4-openssl-dev,
  libssh-dev, and libssl-dev to be uninstalled, which makes some of our
  internal packages fail to build.

  Commenting out universe from bionic-updates in /etc/apt/sources.list
  would work around this, but that's not going to fly for everybody.

  nodejs appears to be the tail wagging the dog now, and that's rather
  uncomfortable.
