libcurl4 with libcurl3 compatibility for Debian 10. (at the end of readme the repo for Ubuntu 18)

I need to use some programs that require old dependencies, in this case: libcurl3

But in recent distros the libcurl3 is removed in favor of libcurl4.

This version of libcurl4 have the oportunity of run these programs because include the API routines of libcurl3 compiled with a recent version of all included libraries.

---

Installation

1.- Remove the (official) current libcurl4 and libcurl4-gnutls (If it is installed)

apt remove libcurl4 libcurl4-gnutls-dev

2.- Download libcurl4 from this repo and install

dpkg -i install libcurl4_7.64.0-4_amd64.deb

That's it.

(If you have a programs with the libcurl4 dependency, when you uninstall these all the programas that depends of it they will be uninstalled too. Reinstall them.)

If you need more libraries for dev or other packages, can you download from here and install in same way.
