On previous Ubuntu versions like 18.04 LTS I was able to install LAN Messenger.

But on modern Ubuntu 20.04 LTS it is not installable with the following messages:

cd ~/Downloads

wget -c https://github.com/lanmessenger/lanmessenger/releases/download/v1.2.37/lmc_1.2.37_x86_64_min.deb

sudo apt-get install ./lmc_1.2.37_x86_64_min.deb



Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

Note, selecting 'lmc' instead of './lmc_1.2.37_x86_64_min.deb'

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:



The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 lmc : Depends: libssl1.0.0 but it is not installable

This happens because of an issue with old libssl1.0.0 package, but LAN Messenger is installable with below workaround:

cd ~/Downloads

wget -c https://github.com/lanmessenger/lanmessenger/releases/download/v1.2.37/lmc_1.2.37_x86_64_min.deb

wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl1.0/libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.7_amd64.deb



sudo apt-get install ./libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.7_amd64.deb

sudo apt-get install libqt5multimedia5



sudo apt-get install ./lmc_1.2.37_x86_64_min.deb
