    I received notification for updates
    Code:
    The following packages will be upgraded:
      php php-bcmath php-bz2 php-cgi php-common php-curl php-fpm php-gd php-imap php-json php-ldap php-mbstring php-mysql php-snmp php-soap php-xml php-zip
    The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:
      libssl-dev libssl1.1 openssl
    
    On checking Ondrej Sury noted this:
    Code:
    php-defaults (82) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * The custom src:eek:penssl packages were introduced to upgrade the
        cryptographic functions for PHP, Apache2 and NGINX, but the situation
        have improved greatly since.  Ubuntu 16.04 LTS will reach end-of-life
        in April 2021 and it was the last distribution using OpenSSL 1.0.2.
        Debian 9 Stretch LTS will reach end-of-life in June 2022 and it is
        using OpenSSL 1.1.0 (which just means TLS 1.3).
    
      * The php-common package now introduces custom apt_preferences
        configuration in /etc/apt/preferences.d/php-common.pref that should
        enforce downgrade of the src:eek:penssl packages to the OpenSSL version
        provided by the distribution.  After this version of php-common is
        installed, the next manual apt-get dist-upgrade run will downgrade the
        OpenSSL version, but you are advised to check this manually if the
        downgrade has happened.

    Should we downgrade them (libssl-dev libssl1.1 openssl)?

    I think it is safe to do so.
