Dev issued me a ticket as he needed php7.0-curl on a server (using Shibd for user authentication) running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, so I obliged. Dependency libcurl4 was needed too, but had to stop there as the package shibboleth-sp2-common was to be removed. The shibboleth-sp2-common contains the shib daemon. Some googling got me to https://depts.washington.edu/bitblog/2018/06/libcurl3-libcurl4-shibboleth-php-curl-ubuntu-18-04/ and of course here.
My understanding is that Shibboleth is pretty widely used worldwide in university authentication solutions (we're a major Swedish Uni BTW) - how could this have slipped through? Is this a lost cause, do we wait for the next LTS release and hope for the best or what? -- 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?
