I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 21.10 to 22.04 and the process went smoothly without reporting any errors.

Whenever I try to run a system update dpkg raises the following error relating to the old linux-image:

/etc/grub.d/bin/grubcfg_proxy: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
run-parts: /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub exited with return code 127
dpkg: error processing package linux-image-5.13.0-39-generic (--remove):
installed linux-image-5.13.0-39-generic package post-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 1
dpkg: too many errors, stopping
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-image-5.13.0-39-generic
Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

dpkg shows a status of remove and Half:

rH linux-image-5.13.0-39-generic 5.13.0-39.44 amd64 Signed kernel image generic

The following is in the dpkg log:

2022-04-25 11:15:54 startup packages remove
2022-04-25 11:15:54 status half-installed linux-image-5.13.0-39-generic:amd64 5.13.0-39.44
2022-04-25 11:15:54 remove linux-image-5.13.0-39-generic:amd64 5.13.0-39.44 <none>
2022-04-25 11:15:55 startup archives unpack

I have tried to re-install the libssl1.0 package but I get the same error as above as dpkg tries to remove the old linux-image first. I have also tried to purge the image but it raises the same error as above too.

sudo apt purge  linux-image-5.13.0-39-generic

I cannot re-install the old image as it not installable.

sudo apt install --reinstall  linux-image-5.13.0-39-generic

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-image-5.13.0-39-generic : Depends: linux-modules-5.13.0-39-generic but it is not installable

We need to fix the missing libssl1.1 library manually. Please head over to the official Debian package library online and download the binary package that matches your system: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/libssl1.1

You will then need to run the following command to install libssl1.1:

sudo dpkg --install libssl1.1*.deb

After this the missing dependencies should be fixed and you can then clean out the linux-image

sudo apt purge <linux-image-name-to-remove>
