Thanks for your reply, so iam not the only one. I think downgrading is 
not an option for me. Ubuntu 18.04 comes with openssl 1.1.0 and it seems 
that older versions like 2.2.22 not compile successful.
Best way for me would be a patch from Ubuntu-side, but without any 
errormessage or something its wasted time to file a bugreport. Though 
Ubuntu 18.04 should run for next 5 years.
