We are in the process of migrating our Apache web servers from 14.04 to 18.04. Seems this will be impossible since the libcurl problem makes Shibboleth authentication in Apache non-existent.

All of the dependencies are Universe packages (not 3rd party). Essentially, anyone wanting SAML2 SSO access controls in Apache has to fall back to 16.04. Bionic is effectively broken.
