I have been trying to install libssl-dev on rpi2B with the following version of raspbian - Linux raspberrypi 4.1.7-v7+ #817 SMP PREEMPT Sat Sep 19 15:32:00 BST 2015 armv7l

I have already tried sudo apt-get update/upgrade but the problem is still not resolved. I am attaching a snippet of the messages in the terminal during installation.

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

I had the same problem, that I couldn't get libssl-dev even after an apt-get upgrade.

However, once I did another apt-get update AFTER running the apt-get upgrade ... then it worked.

No idea why, but there you have it.
