how do you downgrade ?

Code:
lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release:        14.04
Codename:       trusty

Code:
dpkg -s openssl | grep Version
Version: 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.8

You need to search for the version you need, download if for your architecture, and install it manually.

For example, in this case you search for 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.7. You can find it here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.7
Select your architecture and download the .deb package of openssl and libssl (and the -dev packages if you need them). Then install them using dbpg.

Assuming that you're on 64bit:

Code:
wget https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security-proposed/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/6463840/+files/openssl_1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.7_amd64.deb
wget https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security-proposed/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/6463840/+files/libssl1.0.0_1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.7_amd64.deb
dpkg -i openssl_1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.7_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libssl1.0.0_1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.7_amd64.deb

That's it Smiley

Thank you very much for this
But it seems now i can't update & upgrade ubuntu, it says something about wrong dependencies, any solution for that?
