    Can not install curl

    Tried to install curl (command line and synaptic - I know they are pretty much the same but thought I would give it a whirl). I get:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install curl
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:
    
    The following packages have unmet dependencies.
     curl : Depends: libcurl4 (= 7.61.0-1ubuntu2) but 7.61.0-1ubuntu2.2 is to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
    Any clues what to do mext? Thanks

    To err is human, but not uniquely so.

    Re: Can not install curl

    libcurl4 7.61.0-1ubuntu2.2 is from cosmic-security, disco hasn't gotten that version.
    So either wait or remove libcurl4, update your sources, then curl and libcurl4 (7.61.0-1ubuntu2) can be installed

    (- or download & install the cosmic-security curl source packages you need.
