2) echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian wheezy/mongodb-org/3.6 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.6.list

3)sudo apt-get update

I guess this is the problem that you are facing. enter image description here

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

mongodb-org-mongos : Depends: libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.1) but it is not installable

mongodb-org-server : Depends: libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.1) but it is not installable

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

You can try the following steps to install mongodb in Ubuntu at any version:

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-6.0.asc | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

Now you may get the error like above screenshot. Try the following steps :

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1\~18.04.20_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.20_amd64.deb

Now, mongodb is ready to be installed. Run the following installation command again:

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

To check Mongodb version, run the following command :

mongod --version

echo "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/focal-security.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl1.1

After adding libssl1.1, follow mongoDB installation manual

100% working solution!!!

The below solution worked for me to install mongodb:

  1. Download libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb:

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

  1. Install it using the dpkg command:

sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

Work like Makhhan Malai :) Thanks
That has a security vulnerability though.

In my case, I'm using Linux Mint 17 -> Ubuntu 14.04 and I was installing with Ubuntu 16.04 resulting in this conflict.

Check your Ubuntu/Debian version - the wiki is a useful resource - before trying these commands.

If that doesn't solve it then run

sudo apt purge mongod* 
sudo apt purge mongodb* 
sudo apt purge mongodb-org*

That should remove any inconsistency and then go to https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/ and follow the procedure.

This resolved the issue.

In my case i was using Linux Mint [Tara] which uses Ubuntu 18 (Bionic) as its official repository. I had to navigate to Systems Settings -> Administration Tab -> Software Sources to confirm my distribution. Here after, I purged all installed instances on MongoDB using sudo apt purge mongod* sudo apt purge mongodb* sudo apt purge mongodb-org* And navigated to docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu as @KNDheeraj highlighted. It's crucial to confirm your linux distribution when installing MongoDB

I'm also getting the following error while installing MongoDB

 mongodb-org-mongos : Depends: libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0) but it is not 
 installable
 mongodb-org-server : Depends: libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0) but it is not 
 installable
 mongodb-org-shell : Depends: libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0) but it is not installable
 E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Here is the solution for this kind of issue Use the following command

echo "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish-security main" | sudo 
tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/impish-security.list

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl1.1

Ubuntu 22.04 doesn't have official MongoDB packages yet, so the best option now is to have Ubuntu 20.04, where official MongoDB packages are available.

It's NOT recommended to use any workaround in Ubuntu 22.04 to install MongoDB, because it can lead to problems if you gonna use it in production. Below is the workaround that worked for me:

1.Download libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb from official repository: wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

2.Install it: sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

3.Proceed with the installation of MongoDB: sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

Finally! Below Solutions worked for me

It is because of the missing dependencies mongodb not installing on ubuntu 22.04. The main reason is the missing of libssl1.1 dependency. So we need to install it seperately.

  1. sudo apt install dirmngr gnupg apt-transport-https ca-certificates software-properties-common

2.echo "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish-security main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/impish-security.list

3.Go to root user sudo -i then paste this wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

4.apt update

5.apt install libssl1.1

6.wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-5.0.asc | sudo apt-key add -

7.echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu focal/mongodb-org/5.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-5.0.list

8.apt update

9.apt install -y mongodb-org

The latest version of mongodb will be installed To start it

1.systemctl enable mongod

2.systemctl start mongod

In case MongoDB doesn’t start run the command below to reload.

systemctl daemon-reload

Libssl has a CVE as of a month or so ago. We shouldn't be downgrading to older unpatched version of libssl to get mongodb 7.x to run on Ubuntu 22.04
