Nothing in standard Ubuntu app set relies on curl?

yeah fresh install of 24.04 and was just blown away when I tried to run curl and it wasn't there. I get that it's easy to install blahblah was just surprised nothing depends on it. EOM.

I'm curious: Have a look at /var/log/apt/term.log on that system. When you installed the `curl` package, did apt…

1. Also install the `libcurl4t64` package; or

2. Upgrade an existing installation of the `libcurl4t64`; or

3. Not do either (1) or (2)?

If the answer is (1), then please check if the `libcurl3t64-gnutls` package is installed. Is it…

A. Installed; or

B. Not installed?

If your answer is (1)(A), (2), or (3), then that means something already had the curl libraries installed! If your answer is (1)(B), then yes, curl had not yet been installed!
