Installing curl don't work because there is a conflict between curl version name used on Ubuntu and that used by Pharo, you can't install libcurl 3 and libcru4 together. Ubuntu 18 comes with libcurl4 and older software depending on libcurl3 broke with it. I tested with minidebian and it also failed.
Richard, was you able to use Iceberg? It should only work if either Ubuntu fix this dependency problem with libcurl or Pharo started to use libcrl4.
