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

[Mark Daku]

Or can this be done.

Change libcurl3 into a meta package that depends on libcurl3-4.
Change libcurl4 into a meta package that depends on libcurl3-4.

libcurl3-4 is unified package of 3 and 4 code.

Note: Someone will have to work with upstream in order to bump libcurl
to version5.  So that libcurl3 code can be depricated.  This version 5
code in reality is libcurl 4 code only.  But the lib would be a new
version.

Again:
Both lib3 and lib4 must be able to co-exist on a system.  If they don't way to much stuff breaks.

  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?
