Can this not be done? Create new meta package libcurl libcurl depends on libcurl3 >= newversion with fix libcurl depends on libcurl4 >= newversion with fix
libcurl3 removes the hack of having libcurl.so.4 libcurl4 contains a proper libcurl.so.4 They should be able to co-exist at this point. Well actually they need to co-exist because there is zero chance everyone will upgrade all at once and pass testing etc. ----------------- OR Just plain Nuke libcurl4 all together and do a version jump up to libcurl5. And merge all libcurl4 code into the libcurl3 package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to curl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754294 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 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?
