Debian Squeeze 64-bit ssh cant connect and libssl error

Question

I cant login on ssh in the VM i leaved the one that was prev connected open but i cant connect via new connection also when i try to apt-get i get this error:

/usr/bin/python: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Please help me :/ Thanks in advance Also i did this previously and deleted the symbolic links

ln -sf /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 ln -sf
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8

A) where did you get the idea that you could do this? B) After you deleted the 0.9.8 symbolic links, did you put the original library back? — DerfK, Aug 02 '12 at 00:10
next time youre up for an adventure, try deleting libpam.0.so — Mike Pennington, Aug 02 '12 at 01:18

You're going to need to reinstall the old libraries somehow, either by finding the SSL package online (like here) and downloading it to the server somehow (good luck with that), then running

dpkg -i libssl0.9.8_0.9.8o-4squeeze13_amd64.deb

to install the package again.
