I have done much packaging back in my days in AIX. This looks to be a simple case of one dependency to break them all - libxmltooling7 (see #54 & #62, above). However looks can be deceiving.
For the complexity, see: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=828607#49 The details for libxmltooling supporting OpenSSL 1.1 appears to be fixed below. https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/CPPXT-110 There is still the issue of release. However, there are other pieces that need to fall in line. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=859829 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=859831 I do not envy the ladies and gents that have to make this library soup palatable to all, it is often exhausting, seemingly thankless and involves much waiting on others. Yes, it is broken, but not because of Canonical. In a way, I blame myself a bit since a release upgrade test of 16.04 or clean install of a shib-ed web server using the beta release during implementation of libcurl4 (prior to Bionic's official release) would have revealed breaking of Shib2 SP and this could have been posted to the release notes. Of course, like most, my hindsight is rather sharp. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #828607 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=828607 ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #859829 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=859829 ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #859831 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=859831 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to curl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754294 Title: After last updated libcurl3 on libcurl4, some apps are removed. 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?
