Ubuntu
curl package

libcurl4 depends on libnghttp2-14 (>= 1.50.0) which is unavailable in jammy

Asked by Achton

I am trying to upgrade my 22.04 LTS Ubuntu Desktop installation. I need to upgrade all packages first.

APT tells me:

The following packages have been kept back:
  curl libcurl3-gnutls libcurl4

Aptitude tells me (when upgrading those packages):

The following packages will be upgraded:
  curl libcurl3-gnutls{b} libcurl4{b}
3 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 1.175 kB of archives. After unpacking 186 kB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libcurl4 : Depends: libnghttp2-14 (>= 1.50.0) but 1.43.0-1build3 is installed
 libcurl3-gnutls : Depends: libnghttp2-14 (>= 1.50.0) but 1.43.0-1build3 is installed

So it appears that libcurl4 (and libcurl3-gnutls) depends on a version of libnghttp2-14 that does not exist for jammy.

What should I do to remedy this?

It seems that the PPA ppa:savoury1/curl34 is causing the problem.

That PPA seems to contain a higher version of *curl*, where the dependencies cannot be met in your list of allowed sources, and so the update to the latest version available in your sources cannot be installed.

My advice:
Remove that PPA (and eventually other ones) from your list of repositories and then try the release-upgrade again.

Thank you for your help - I can't believe I did not see this myself.

Instead of removing the ppa:savoury1/curl34 PPA, replacing it with ppa:savoury1/backports also solves the dependency problem.
