.deb package dependencies

Just downloaded a .deb package which shows a dependency to
>=libssl0.9.7e .  dpkg -i package.deb of course fails, mentioning this
dependency.
apt-cache search produces libssl0.9.8, saying that it is the latest
version and is installed.  apt-get install suggests running apt-get -f
install to meet this dependency, but on running that command, apt says
it would like to remove the .deb package I previously ran with dpkg
-i ...

Seems I'm entering into a strange loop here...

Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Thanks, as always, for the assistance.
