The Ubuntu repos suggests there are more dependencies than just plain libc. https://packages.ubuntu.com/hirsute/openjdk-11-jre https://packages.ubuntu.com/hirsute/openjdk-11-jre Could it be you have those dependencies satisfied through other things you’ve already installed? > Do you have a reference to your claim that Java requires libssl?
