to be honest, most of the time I would just write "apt-get
install licurl" and then look through the rest using tab
completion. Doesn't work for more complex cases, but it's
often enough.
But libcurl and libcurl-dev are likely different packages.
yes...?? If you type "apt-get install libcurl" and then press
tab, it prints out a list of all package names that start with
libcurl.
