Solution 1:
First locate where is your library:
sudo locate libcrypto.so.1.0.0
Then copy that into your /usr/lib/ folder:
sudo cp /snap/gnome-3-26-1604/82/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/
Solution 2:
Please check that what version of libssl installed on your system, In case of mine on Ubuntu 19.04 there was libssl1.1 instead of required libssl1.0. So I have to install software that comes with libssl1.0. Best part is ubuntu comes with snap to install such softwares like Termius. Then fix the problem as answered by "Rodrigo".
Locate the installed path:
sudo locate libcrypto.so.1.0.0
Then either add the discovered path to path variable:
export PATH=<discovered path>:$PATH
Or add libraries to pre included path:
sudo ln -s <discovered path> /usr/lib/
Solution 3:
I experienced the same error as the OP, after using Ubuntu Software Updater to update from 18.04 to 19.04.
When the update was just about done an was removing old unused linux kernels, the OP's error occurred during a grub configuration step driven by the Updater.
Searching for a remediation I found the OP's post and tried the same steps. As I improvised and found a workaround that was clean, I post it here:
lnx:~$ sudo apt-get install -f

So libcrypto.so.1.0.0 is not found in an expected location by grubcfg_proxy.
Following the advice of a respondent to the OP:

md5sum: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0: No such file or directory
Ah ha! /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ must be the location where grubcfg_proxy needs to find libcrypto.so.1.0.0.
Which of the others to cp -p, ln or ln -s to the expected location? The md5 signatures tell me which files are the same bytewise content. Are any the same actual files?

ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0': No such file or directory
The inode numbers in column 1 show which instances of libcrypto.so.1.0.0, and the hard link count of 1 in column 3 shows symlinks are involved in providing the multiple paths.
I decide I just need to cp -p one of the files to the correct location to get past the problem. Which of the two different md5 signatures / bytewise different content options do I choose?
After some googling I find that /snap/core/... is based on ubuntu 16.04, and /snap/core18/... is based on ubuntu 18.04.
I am leaning toward /snap/core18/.../libcrypto.so.1.0.0.
It turns out after some checking that /snap/core18/.../libcrypto.so.1.1 and /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1 are the same bytewise, so I decide to keep /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.* all ubuntu 18.04.
I copy the file into place and run sudo apt-get install -f again.
Voila! grubcfg_proxy is happy and the old kernels are removed.
lnx:~$ sudo cp -p /snap/core18/1223/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0

I can now proceed to update from ubuntu 19.04 to 19.10, with only a "crufty" /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 from 18.04 lying around on my disk to perhaps help future package management problems. First, for good measure:
