insomnia: [Installation] Insomnia cannot be installed on ubuntu 18.04
Insomnia package depends on libcurl3. But in Ubuntu 18.04, there are also a libcurl4 package. And curl depends on libcurl4. And, because many of apps depends on curl (and, recursively, on libcurl4), Insomnia cannot be installed.

Alright, some big news!
debpackage is live that should work on all platforms sincelibcurlis no longer a dependency🎉 🎆 🔥 :shipit:
Alright, I built one manually on 18.04. This should work for now. https://github.com/getinsomnia/insomnia/releases/download/v5.15.0/insomnia_5.15.0_amd64__1804.deb
Awesome. Well maybe I can at least provide a deb to start (I’m sure it’s the most popular) and we can cover the others later.
@Djaler working on that soon too. I have a feeling the Snap will replace the deb going forward. Maintaining different deb builds for different Ubuntu versions seems like too much work to be worth it.
Should be live now!
Alright, so a few people didn’t like the mention of deprecating the deb. Not to worry! I have a PR that changes Linux builds to statically link
libcurl, which removes the dependency entirely. This means that the dependency issue on 18.04 is no longer a problem 😄 🍻As for the Snap, I’m still working on it. It’s not as big of a priority now but I still want to get it done.
Working on this today!
the v5.15.0 deb just removed my curl php-curl and uget
