Shibboleth upstream doesn't support OpenSSL 1.1, and libcurl4 is probably
built against OpenSSL 1.1.

There aren't many good solutions to this problem until Shibboleth releases
a version that supports OpenSSL 1.1. I think the Shibboleth packages have
beem removed from Debian testing for the same reason.
