On my system 8.04, curl 7.18.0 is installed:

curl --version shows:

curl 7.18.0 (i486-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.18.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8g zlib/1.2.3.3 libidn/1.1
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap ldaps http file https ftps 
Features: GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz

According to https://github.com/toland/patron/issues/25 , I need to install a later version of curl, example 7.19.4, in order to get it to work with patron. What is the process to update curl from 7.18.0 to a later version, example 7.19 or 7.20?

  • You should consider upgrading to a newer Ubuntu release, as the LTS support for this version ran out last month. – Sven Jun 14 '13 at 11:18
  • @SvW I will consider upgrading some time later, but i want to resolve this problem first and finish a task, i dont want to upgrade because of this issue. – umar Jun 14 '13 at 11:20

You can try downloading the curl .deb from the ubuntu package repository : http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/curl and installing it by hand with dpkg:

dpkg --install /path/to/curl.deb

If you're lucky, the requirements haven't changed too much and it will install without problems.
