I was looking at this in order to ack it. However I've noticed that libcurl4 conflicts against libcurl3. Why is that? That's going to make the transition hard, can it be removed? Hmm, I just realised libcurl3 ships libcurl.so.4, so that explains the conflict. I just found the rationale for this in https://salsa.debian.org/debian/curl/merge_requests/2. That means this will have to wait until there are no conflicting ongoing transitions. I will ack this when that time comes. Cheers, Emilio
