Severe Backward Compatibility Issues With New 'libcurl.so.4'

[JeZ-l-Lee]

Hi,

I am trying to get my AppGameKit 2 built game to run on 18.04.
When I run the game's executable in Konsole I get the following error:
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________________________
jlp@SuperFastDesktop:~/Desktop/VM-SHARE/SpaceSwap$ ./SpaceSwap
./SpaceSwap: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4: version `CURL_OPENSSL_3' not found (required by ./SpaceSwap)
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________________________

Any help would be appreciated!

Do you have libcurl4 installed?
Oddly, both libcurl3 and libcurl4 provide /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4, I am guessing one of these provides the "CURL_OPENSSL_3" needed.
The libcurl4 package is new in Bionic, and it doesn't exist in previous releases. I don't have a Bionic setup to check, but if you run apt policy libcurl3 or apt policy libcurl4 you can see which is installed.

Hi,

Yes, "libcurl4" is installed.
How would I fix the above?
Thanks!

My guess is try libcurl3 as see if that version works else the game needs to be built using the libcurl4. You'd need libcurl4-ssl-dev for that. Again, I am guessing.

Hi,

That actually worked...
But it removed the following packages:
- "whoopsie"
- "libcurl4"
- "kde-config-whoopsie"
- "cryfs"

Are the above packages important?
Thanks!
