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

[Valters]

Also not possible to install MySQL Workbench (mysql-workbench-
community-6.3.10-1ubuntu17.10-amd64.deb) because it has dependency on
libcurl3 which libcurl4 disallows. It is not a solution to require all
3rd party packages to move to libcurl4.

If the curl library did not break ABI between 3 and 4, and if it is
completely possible to have libcurl3 transitional package hanging
around, it would allow all those applications install and work.

Currently Ubuntu has centrally broken this for everyone, and the retoric
on ticket #1754294 is very frustrating.

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?
