The following packages have unmet dependencies:

syslog-ng-core : Depends: libjson-c4 (>= 0.13.1) but it is not installable

                  Depends: libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.1) but it is not installable

 

From research it looks like libjson-c4 has been replaced in the Debian repositories by libjson-c5 is there a way to utilize the libjson-c5 version or how should I resolve this issue? FYI this was working on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy up until the past week. I ran updates on the system to resolve another issue and after that I’m getting an error starting the daemon

The rabbit hole lead me to this current state. Any assistance would be appreciated.
