Package Information

Description:

Unlike Gentoo, Debian allows multiple copies of libcurl built against different backends to be installed simultaneously. For reasons best known to themselves, some developers release binaries linked against libcurl-gnutls.so instead of libcurl.so, the latter being the OpenSSL variant. Although it is less than ideal, real world usage has shown that symlinking from one to the other doesn't cause any issues so this package provides such a symlink to satisfy prebuilt binaries. Usage of libcurl-nss.so seems less common but a symlink for that has also been included for completeness.
