You're apparently using an RPM that was built against something later
than RHL 8.0. (I only see libssl.so.1 on my RHL 8.0 system.)
The best answer is to download the source RPM (SRPM) and do an
"rpmbuild -ba" to build an RPM that's customized to your system.
You might be able to find a binary RPM that is built for RHL 8.0,
but I wouldn't count on it.
