Regarding libssl, the packages are built on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS which has the libssl0.9.8 package. Ubuntu 11.10 got rid of the libssl0.9.8 package and instead went to libssl1.0.0. Note, these aren't two versions of the same package, Ubuntu created two completely separate packages with two different names rather than versioning a single libssl package. Understandably this caused some problems with trying to support multiple versions of Ubuntu.
The decision was made to support as best we could the LTS release as that was the most common release used in production. In addition, the libssl0.9.8 package can easily be installed along side the libssl1.0.0 package on ubuntu 11.10 by simply installing it via apt (apt-get install libssl0.9.8) whereas it wasn't as easy going the other way and installing libssl1.0.0 on ubuntu 10.04. For things to work, you need that package, installing via '-f' will crash erlang on startup (or whenever it first attempts to use the crypto library). The other option you have is to take the source and build your own package on Ubuntu 11.10. You can do this by installing all of the debian packaging tools (dch, debhelper, make, gcc, erlang-14b04) and doing a 'make package RELEASE=1' in the root directory of the untarred source.
