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

[Dylan Borg]

Can't canonical turn libcurl3 into a transitional package for libcurl4?
When I did so manually I got stuff to work fine. Most 3rd party binaries
use dot target libcurl3 as there was no libcurl4 package when in fact
they'd work fine against libcurl4 since the ABI did nto change between
curl 3 and 4, only the headers got changed. Please have this fixed. An
LTS should be reliable in every aspect including the fact that it should
not break installs.

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?
