this is related to libssl1.0 ("libcurl3") -> libssl1.1 ("libcurl4") transition.
The two conflict on disk. After bionic release, we have upgraded to libssl1.1. Which means switch to libcurl4 for everything. There were two packages, in bionic, that did not support libssl1.1 and thus had to use the old libssl1.0 based "libcurl3" which conflicts with libcurl4. Post-bionic those two packages were ported to libssl1.1 and libcurl3 was removed from the archive. If you must use the two apps that need libcurl3 on bionic, ensure that you install them in a chroot/container, such that it doesn't conflict and try to remove most of the system. I'm not sure what i can do, to make any of this better on bionic or xenial. Upgrade to focal? Everything is fixed there for this. ** Also affects: curl (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: curl (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Changed in: curl (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => Opinion -- 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.

After last updated libcurl3 on libcurl4, system (Kubuntu 18.04 bionic) deleted such applications as: virtualbox-5.2 opera-stable slack-desktop mongodb I really need these applications, I installed them with broken dependencies, but they are deleted after each update.
