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

[Evgeny Brazgin]

Hi Mark,
The problem is a little more complex.

For example, let's take package virtualbox-5.2 from official virtualbox repo (https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/).
1. Deb package depends on libcurl3.
2. Its binary is linked to library with name 'libcurl.so.4'.
3. Its binary requires existence of versioned symbols with names like 'curl_version_info@@CURL_OPENSSL_3'.

2 and 3 together don't allow simply solve the problem, because there are
apps, which read library of version 4 and use API of version 3.

  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?
