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

[flo5783]

I managed to make it work with slimjet after using an idea from:
https://github.com/getinsomnia/insomnia/issues/805

*Here's my dirty "workaround".*

Short version: modify the .deb package to control for libcurl version 3
*OR 4*.

Detailed version: in a terminal, change directory to the folder containing slimjet's .deb package, then:
 sudo mkdir tmp
 sudo dpkg-deb -R slimjet_amd64.deb tmp
# now edit the "control" file to replace "libcurl3" by "libcurl3|libcurl4", then save
 sudo dpkg-deb -b tmp slimjet_amd64_fixed.deb

Finally, execute the new "slimjet_amd64_fixed.deb" package to install
slimjet.

Hope this solution will suffice until the real problem is fixed.

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

  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?
