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

[John A Ramirez]

I recently encountered this problem in 18.04 trying to play a game I
recently purchased, Prime Mover.  Upon startup it immediately aborts
with the error

./PrimeMover: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4: version
`CURL_OPENSSL_3' not found (required by ./PrimeMover)

I realize it's not as vital as document databases or web browsers or
version controllers, but I'm a bit shocked that the problem is this
widespread.

Is there any news on this?  Who maintains libcurl?  This problem was
reported eight months ago, and still no one is assigned to it?

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

Status in curl package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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
  mongodb

  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?
