The 'replace-versions' information is kept in the override.hint file [1]

For future reference, you can upload them as any other file (so, in this case, you could have removed or uploaded an empty file in their place).

In this case, since I added them, I have removed those override.hint files for you.

WARNING: package 'curl' replace-versions: lists version '7.86.0-1', which is also available to install

Not sure, but this probably indicates a calm bug of some sort.

For reasons, the solver won't replace a version marked to distupgrade (by replace-versions:) if it's also available to install. This warning is meant to alert on that situation.

If I didn't remove the 7.86.0-1 packages when I added this override to withdraw it [2], I think this should have been alerting all along.
