Version 18.0.5.0 requires removal of libcurl4

Post by scott092707 »

"Version 18.0.5.0 (based on Chromium 64.0.3282.119) (Official Build) (64-bit)"

I now have Lubuntu Next 18.04.

When I installed 18.0.5.0, I was required to remove pkg libcurl4 (and uget, which depends on libcurl4) in order to install libcurl3.

At the moment, my only use of uget was in concert with SMTube, and I can always use wget instead,
but in looking at dependencies, I see that gmic and gimp-gmic depend on libcurl4.
I use GIMP, and have sometimes toyed with the idea of installing the plug-in gmic, since it is considered very useful.
Since I have installed SlimJett, I will now be unable to do so.
It is possible that other programs that I might want to use will require libcurl4.

Are you planning to switch from libcurl3 to libcurl4 any time soon?

This isn't a bug. It might be annoying like a fly... but it is not a code related bug. Moving it to the General forum.
