Exactly. libcurl conflicts with libcurl-minimal, which means that exactly one of them will be installed on any Fedora system at a time. On a regular system (server, desktop, etc.) it will always be libcurl. On the other hand, if you need to create a minimal installation of Fedora (e.g. a base image for Docker), you will pick libcurl-minimal instead of libcurl, to make the set of installed packages really minimal. > , or relying on the behavior of ldconfig to figure out which > library you happen to get at a particular time. ldconfig will always pick /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4 because there can be only one file with that name installed at a time.
