Comment 42 for bug 1754294

Also not possible to install MySQL Workbench (mysql-workbench-community-6.3.10-1ubuntu17.10-amd64.deb) because it has dependency on libcurl3 which libcurl4 disallows. It is not a solution to require all 3rd party packages to move to libcurl4.

If the curl library did not break ABI between 3 and 4, and if it is completely possible to have libcurl3 transitional package hanging around, it would allow all those applications install and work.

Currently Ubuntu has centrally broken this for everyone, and the retoric on ticket #1754294 is very frustrating.
