We are in the process of migrating our Apache web servers from 14.04 to 18.04. Seems this will be impossible since the libcurl problem makes Shibboleth authentication in Apache non-existent.
All of the dependencies are Universe packages (not 3rd party). Essentially, anyone wanting SAML2 SSO access controls in Apache has to fall back to 16.04. Bionic is effectively broken. root@webdev:/etc/apache2/sites-available# apt install libapache2-mod-shib2 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

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 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?
