I'm seeing this on Debian wheezy. Looks like libssl0.9.8 isn't available -- only libssl1.0.0. I'm using this as my apt source:
deb http://download.rethinkdb.com/apt lucid main
Is there a better wheezy package source?

Sorry about that, it might take a bit of time to work out the kinks in the packaging (libssl is surprisingly finicky on different platforms). I have dispatched a message to the RethinkDB packaging genie (https://github.com/atnnn) and should be able to get an answer soon.
It's no longer compatible with jessie/sid either. precise and saucy versions depend on libprotobuf7 (wheezy has it too), trusty - on libprotobuf8 and jessie has libprotobuf9.
