[Bug 1754294] Re: After last updated libcurl3 on libcurl4, some apps are removed.

[Igor Mokrushin]

I manually edited file /var/lib/dpkg/status, it replaced libсurl3 (>=
7.16.2) to libcurl4 (>= 7.16.2) and libcurl3 to libcurl4, in those
places where there is no version checking. Almost all the packages that
require libcurl3 work without problems, except for the virtualbox, for
it we had to take libcurl.so.4 from the libcurl3 package and put it in
the /usr/lib/virtualbox directory...

This workaround makes it possible updates all the packages except those
for which the changes have been made with the libcurl3 dependencies.
It's better than marking packages as hold...

Title:
  After last updated libcurl3 on libcurl4, some apps are removed.

Status in curl package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi!

  After last updated libcurl3 on libcurl4, system (Kubuntu 18.04 bionic) deleted such applications as:
  virtualbox-5.2
  opera-stable
  slack-desktop

  I really need these applications, I installed them with broken
  dependencies, but they are deleted after each update. Is it possible
  to make the dependence of the libcurl3 in libcurl4, and not remove it
  altogether from system?
