Resolution

Dated: 2022-Oct-14
MongoDb has no official build for ubuntu 22.04 at the moment.

Ubuntu 22.04 has upgraded libssl to 3 and does not propose libssl1.1

You can force the installation of libssl1.1 by adding the ubuntu 20.04 source:

$ 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

Then use your commands to install mongodb-org.

Then delete the focal-security list file you just created:

$ sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/focal-security.list
