The same problem happens on Debian 12 (bookworm, latest stable version). Probably also on Debian 11 (bullseye). libssl1 is out of use for quite some time now.

If you publish the Debian package build scripts in the repo, I can certainly fix this and send a pull request.

There are two issues here:

1. The package does not contain a dependency to libssl1.1
   A fix would be to add a proper dependency in the package. This should be there even if the libssl dependency is updated in the binary and the error does not occur.
2. The binary in /usr/bin/recipe-ui is linked against this old version of libssl
   This must be changed in the build by upgrading the dependency which pulls in libssl. I don't know enough about the build process to give a solution.

As it hasn't been mentioned here, in order to fix the problem with the missing libssl1.1, one can install the old version from the debian archive.
