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

[Petr Sedlacek]

At first I was annoyed by this strange choice by Cannonical. I mainly do not understand why libcurl3 and libcurl4 cannot be installed at the same time as is usual with libraries of different major version.
Then I got to accept that the problem actually needs to be fixed in the dependent programs - they need to switch from libcurl3 to libcurl4 which is now the default in Ubuntu 18.04. VirtualBox and Slack already have and I'm sure the rest will follow quickly. If not complain to them.
I expect this "issue" will not be 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?
