The version of curl and libcurl here provides libcurl.so.4, whereas
many distributions include a version of curl that provides
libcurl.so.3 or libcurl.so.2.
This means that installing the curl and libcurl packages from this repository can break a
lot of dependencies for applications linked against the older libcurl. This
problem can be avoided by also installing the
libcurl7155 (for libcurl.so.3) and/or
libcurl7112 (for libcurl.so.2) packages,
for backwards compatibility, e.g.:
rpm -Uvh libcurl7155-7.15.5-15.cf.fc5.i386.rpm curl-7.30.0-2.0.cf.fc5.i386.rpm libcurl-7.30.0-2.0.cf.fc5.i386.rpm
libcurl is now linked against c-ares, libidn and libssh2.
If your distribution does not supply these libraries, you can get RPMs from the
libraries directory.
If you have any queries or problems with these RPMs, please raise a ticket on the bug tracker or contact the packager, Paul Howarth <paul@city-fan.org> directly.
