[Bug 1805203] Re: libcurl3-gnutls in cosmic breaks git with Azure DevOps

[Mark Inderhees]

Someone contacted me and requested the steps for the work around.
Sharing here:

First, you need to add the bionic security repository to your apt sources list
$ sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
Add this line:
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restricted

Update packages
$ sudo apt-get update

Then you need to downgrade libcurl3-gnutls:
$ sudo apt-get install libcurl3-gnutls=7.58.0*

As security packages are updated automatically by Ubuntu on a daily
basis, you'll need to re-run this last command to downgrade
libcurl3-gnutls every morning.

Title:
  libcurl3-gnutls in cosmic breaks git with Azure DevOps

Status in curl package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The version of libcurl3-gnutls in cosmic (7.61.0) causes
  authentication failures with Azure DevOps. This causes all git
  operations with the server to fail (eg clone, push, pull). For details
  see this curl bug: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/2754

  To work around this I downgraded libcurl3-gnutls to the version in
  bionic (7.58.0)

  From the curl change list https://curl.haxx.se/changes.html#7_61_1,
  this issue should be fixed in package version 7.61.1 or above.

  Request: please upgrade package in cosmic for libcurl3-gnutls to
  7.61.1 or above

  Details:
  1 - Ubuntu 18.10
  2 - libcurl3-gnutls (7.61.0-1ubuntu2.2 and others)
  3 - Be able to git clone from an Azure DevOps repository using a Personal Access Token
  4 - git operations fail to authenticate

  Thank you,
  Mark
