[Bug 1451525] Re: package libcurl4-gnutls-dev 7.37.1-1ubuntu3.4 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite shared '/usr/bin/curl-config', which is different from other instances of package libcurl4-gnutls-dev:i386

[Mark Mentovai]

libcurl4-openssl-dev:amd64 and libcurl4-openssl-dev:i386 both want to
install /usr/bin/curl-config, but the file varies unnecessarily by
architecture.

They only differ in a small and insignificant part of the string in the
line that follows --configure in this script.

Those randomly generated directory names, /build/curl-5aqeqB vs. /build
/curl-95csPZ, are causing each architecture’s curl-config to differ.
They’re also not helping anyone at all being carried all the way through
to the shipping /usr/bin/curl-config.
