gem install curb -v '0.9.10' 
also fails to install because of this issue.

Well,

I have `libcurl4-openssl-dev` and `libmediainfo-dev` packages as dependencies
for my project.

These packages can't be installed because of issue:


libcurl4-gnutls-dev : Conflicts: libcurl4-openssl-dev but 7.58.0-2ubuntu3.5 is
to be installed
 libcurl4-openssl-dev : Conflicts: libcurl4-gnutls-dev but 7.58.0-2ubuntu3.5 is
to be installed



apt install --fix-broken doesn't help.

fix Issue 18649 - curl on Ubuntu 18.04 depends on libcurl4, ...

... .deb installer depends on libcurl3

- depend on libcurl4 | libcurl3 alternative
- degrading libcurl from dependency to recommends would be welcome,
  but does not work because recommendations are not installed for raw
  .deb packages (--fix-broken only installs dependencies).
  `dpkg -i dmd_2.079.1-0_amd64.deb && apt-get --fix-broken install`
- also add suggested libcurl-dev alternative

I've given Martin's suggestion of using Recommends a go and it appears to work.
 The steps I took were:

- Purge existing dmd installation
- Upgrade curl, bringing in libcurl4, removing libcurl3
- Unpacked dmd_2.079.0-0_amd64.deb
- Edited the control file with the changes to the Depends section and added the
Recommends section.
- Repacked the .deb
- Installed the .deb

The installation worked but I don't have anything that uses std.net.curl to
test.

- The libcurl dependency should be demoted to recommended (installed by
default) or suggested, atm. it's still a dependency.

- It's confusing to see libcurl3 as dependency and libcurl4-openssl-dev as
suggestion.
 
https://github.com/dlang/installer/blob/47830a15d1a576b683c92b4bb4adc4a1d83a2b5d/linux/dmd_deb.sh#L347-L348
  Has anyone ever succeeded to install that with `-o
APT::Install-Suggests="true"` or `--install-suggests`?

- It's a pity that debian doesn't have a meta-package for libcurl, but I'd
research how other packages resolved this issue (libcurl-ocaml depends on
libcurl3-gnutls while libcurl-ocaml-dev depends on libcurl4-gnutls-dev).

- Use an alternative package name `libcurl4 | libcurl3` to support
installations without libcurl4 availability. Assuming that all OSes with
libcurl4 switch to that by default, otherwise you'd be back to the conflict.

So how about:
DEPENDS='libc6, libc6-dev, gcc, libgcc1, libstdc++6'
RECOMMENDS='libcurl4 | libcurl3'
SUGGESTS='libcurl4-openssl-dev, gcc-multilib'

An attempt at fixing it by simply making libcurl optional (it's only needed for
std.net.curl) https://github.com/dlang/installer/pull/314

The "official" deb ball is supposed to run on Debian too, so probably the only
solution for a universal deb ball would be to drop the dependency on libcurl.
It's only used for std.net.curl and dynamically loaded when needed.
The d-apt registry should be able to set the dependency correctly though.

My 18.04 install was done just before curl was moved to libcurl4 so for now I'm
holding back the upgrade of those packages, meaning I was able to install the
2.079.0 deb.

The solution might be as simple as changing the dependency to libcurl3 OR
libcurl4 but I don't know the internals at all to know if that would work.

BTW @Alex: as another an alternative until this is resolved, you might want to
try the install script:

Background info on the rename:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/curl/7.58.0-2ubuntu2

 Rename libcurl3 to libcurl4, because libcurl exposes an SSL_CTX via
CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION, and this object changes incompatibly between
openssl 1.0 and openssl 1.1.

I was shocked a bit about this because I thought libcurl4 doesn't exist in
Ubuntu and is currently only available in experimental in Debian:

https://packages.debian.org/experimental/libcurl4
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libcurl=names=artful=all

The binary library is called libcurl3 (the API/development packages is
libcurl4-dev)

https://askubuntu.com/questions/469360/what-is-the-difference-between-libcurl3-and-libcurl4

However, I tried this myself in Docker and I can reproduce this:

---
root@84fd31deb36c:/# apt-get install libcurl3
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree   
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 dmd : Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed
   Depends: gcc but it is not going to be installed
 libcurl3 : Depends: libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.2~beta3) but it is not going to be
installed
Conflicts: libcurl4 but 7.58.0-2ubuntu3 is to be installed
 libcurl4 : Conflicts: libcurl3 but 7.58.0-2ubuntu2 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).

libcurl4 is already the newest version (7.58.0-2ubuntu3).
libcurl4 set to manually installed.

At least it seems like dmd isn't the only application:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/curl/+bug/1754294


BTW the file that creates the DEB ball is here:

https://github.com/dlang/installer/blob/master/linux/dmd_deb.sh#L347

I'm not sure what's the best fix for this as libcurl4 doesn't exist in Debian
(and the DEB ball is supposed to be general-purpose).
