[SOLVED & Fixed] incompatibility issues with other software: URW wants libcurl3
Twixter:
My OS is Linux Mint 19, which uses Ubuntu 18.04 repositories.
If I do a system-wide install of URW using the downloaded deb file and the Gdebi installer, my libcurl4 package gets removed and replaced with libcurl3. It also removes all other software which required libcurl4, such as Scilab for example.
The tarball download has the same problem.
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to ask in, but would it be possible to create a virtual environment, or sandbox, in some local folder, where I can run URW without interfering with my other software?
Thanks in advance.
Twixter:
The answer I found was to install Virtual Box on my machine.

I have this problem also, however virtualbox is unfortunately a poor option for me at this time. I'm unsure if I should be posting here or making a new topic, as this is precisely the same problem which I am having.
Is there a way to bypass this libcurl requirement on installation?
koteko:
I created a new deb package for you, by changing the "libcurl3" requires to "libcurl3 or libcurl4". As long as the game does not use libcurl in a way incompatible with libcurl4, it should work. Give it a try.
This is the change, for the curious (in the file urw/DEBIAN/control, if you unpack the deb):
--- Code: ---Depends: libsdl2-2.0-0, libsdl2-image-2.0-0, libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0, bash, libcurl3|libcurl4
--- End code ---
Let us know if it works, so Sami can fix the package.

Oh gosh that's fantastic! Thanks so much! This really makes my week :D I have booted it up successfully and I'll be playing it more soon. Can't wait to get back into the unreal world.
If I may ask, is it complicated to modify a deb in this way?
