Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libssl-dev: Depends: libssl0.9.8 (= 0.9.8c-4build1) but 0.9.8c-4ubuntu0.2 is to be installed

You have installed (most probably a downloaded .deb) libssl0.9.8 version 0.9.8c-4ubuntu0.2.
Since you don't seem to have the feisty-security or feisty-updates repository available in /etc/apt/sources.list, trying to install libssl-dev will install the latest available version from the feisty repository (0.9.8c-4build1) which is incompatible with the version of libssl installed.
You should either install the libssl from the feisty repository or install the libssl-dev from the feisty-updates or feisty-security repositories (the latter preferable if you want the security fixes).

Doh. I missed that. You are correct. That was the problem. Fixed /etc/apt/sources.list and everything installed as expected.
