Unmet Dependencies

[Negativeone]

Hi

I am new to Ubuntu. I am trying to install this app:
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

but I get this error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
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:
  libssl-dev: Depends: libssl0.9.8 (= 0.9.8a-7ubuntu0.9) but 0.9.8g-15ubuntu3.2 is to be installed
              Depends: zlib1g-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

Gutsy Gibbon is officially off the RADAR. You can backtrack to Dapper Drake (6.06) which was the previous Long Term Release if you have hardware concerns, or upgrade to at least 8.04 (Hardy Heron, the current Long Term Release)... the latter suggested. In this way, you will have access to software repositories again.
