[Bug] Dot Purple installation fails on Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS

[alastairlundy]

Describe the bug
DotPurple fails to install on Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS.

Initially I didn't see the error details trying to install it via a GUI so I tried installing it using dpkg and that gave me the error details.

It looks like the latest DotPurple deb package expects an older version of libssl that is not installed on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or newer based distributions.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Download latest DotPurple .deb file
2. Open a terminal emulator application
3. Enter the command sudo dkpg -i [PathToDotPurpleDebFile].deb
4. See error

Expected behavior
DotPurple to install successfully.

Screenshots
Side Note: I renamed my copy of the Dot Purple deb package to make it easier to execute the dpkg command with it.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: [e.g. iOS] Pop!_OS
• Version [e.g. 1.0.1] 22.04 LTS with latest updates installed.
• Linux Kernel version is 6.9.3

Additional context
libssl3 seems to be the libssl package that ships in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS based distros and newer.

Hope this helps. Thanks :)

Thanks for the report. Looks like this is a common issue for .NET apps on Linux...hrm.

Can't take a look at this exact moment of this comment, but dotnet/core#4749 may have a workaround for you that could work. Looks like there are compat packages available for several distros that would allow things to run again.
