Brackets: libcurl3 conflicts libcurl4

[Zipdox]

Description

I tried to install Brackets today on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and I'm having some issues. These are the errors I got when trying to install the deb package:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of brackets: brackets depends on libcurl3; however: Package libcurl3 is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package brackets (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Processing triggers for hicolor-icon-theme (0.17-2) ... Errors were encountered while processing: brackets

I tried installing libcurl3 but it conflicted with libcurl4. I had to remove the newer version first which is not desirable. I think this can easily be solved by updating from libcurl3 to 4 but I'm not a contributor so I don't know for sure.

Versions

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 64bit
Brackets 1.13.0-17696

apparently Brackets is dependable on libcurl3, and not libcurl4. I am also using VirtualBox 5.2.16 for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and is dependable on libcurl4. So if I were to install brackets, it will uninstall VirtualBox along with libcurl4 and install libcurl3.

can we get this fixed as soon as possible, I would like to use brackets with Ubuntu.

+1, i changed to the atom-editor a while ago because of this. i would really like to use brackets again..

[benlumia007]

try using visiual studio code for Ubuntu, it works great, also virtualbox 5.2.16+ uses libcurl4

[hersche]

sorry, im not shure how you mean this. visual studio is for windows, isn't it? and does this have changes on the code, or do you mean the msi-file in releases? or even to do a virtualbox-instance for it?

to be honest, i am too lazy for try it, i hope there will come a upgrade and i can just upgrade via the debian-package.. until then i can do my work easily with atom.

thank you anyway.

[benlumia007]

https://code.visualstudio.com/ is an IDE for Windows, Linux and Mac, similar to atom but little better and it has a built in terminal that you can use.

ah, ok, thank you for the hint, i will check it. for terminal i usualy use https://www.kde.org/applications/system/yakuake/..

sudo snap install brackets --classic

sudo snap install brackets --classic

Extension manager doesn't get any results using that install method.

Official suggested workaround is #14786:
dpkg-deb -R ./Brackets.Release.1.14.64-bit.deb Brackets
sed 's/libcurl3/libcurl3 | libcurl4/' Brackets/DEBIAN/control
dpkg-deb -b Brackets Brackets-fixed.deb
sudo apt install -f ./Brackets-fixed.deb

Это всё из-за использования более старой библиотеки Libcurl3 ... Можно попробовать разобрать Deb архив и изменить зависимость ... Эта проблема актуальна и в нынешней версии ...

this has not been fixed since I opened a ticket last time. this needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Linux users are opting out to use VS code if this isn't fix :D
