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

[Maarten Fonville]

If they were compiled against libcurl.so.4 I assume they would be compiled against abi-4 of libcurl, right?
AFAIK the supplying of libcurl.so.4 by libcurl3 was a trick by Debian by keeping the same exposed symbols, which kept abi-3 and abi-4 the same.
So I'd assume even though those packages specifying a dependency on libcurl3, in fact they did depend on libcurl.so.4 which should no problem to be provided by the new libcurl4.


I see btw same ldd result on Spotify:
ldd /usr/bin/spotify | grep libcurl
	libcurl.so.4 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4 (0x00007feea6b5a000)

Title:
  After last updated libcurl3 on libcurl4, some apps are removed.

Status in curl package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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?
