Public bug reported: My build system is now broekn because I haveone package (ros) that depends on libcurl4-openssl-dev and one package (openscenegraph) that depends on libcurl4-dev. While libcurl4-gnutls-dev and libcurl4-nss-dev both have a Replace libcurl4-dev to provide the virtual package, libcurl4-openssl-dev does not. Furthermore libcurl4-openssl-dev cannot be installed with either of the other two packages, so they conflict but do not have the same Replace packages. This problem has been seen by MANY people that use ROS and there are no good answers. IT seems to me that the easiest answer is to properly have this package declare it's replacements and conflicts.
