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

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

this is related to libssl1.0 ("libcurl3") -> libssl1.1 ("libcurl4")
transition.

The two conflict on disk.

After bionic release, we have upgraded to libssl1.1. Which means switch
to libcurl4 for everything.

There were two packages, in bionic, that did not support libssl1.1 and
thus had to use the old libssl1.0 based "libcurl3" which conflicts with
libcurl4.

Post-bionic those two packages were ported to libssl1.1 and libcurl3 was
removed from the archive.

If you must use the two apps that need libcurl3 on bionic, ensure that
you install them in a chroot/container, such that it doesn't conflict
and try to remove most of the system.

I'm not sure what i can do, to make any of this better on bionic or
xenial.

Upgrade to focal? Everything is fixed there for this.

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
  mongodb

  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?
