Considering I just supported another colleague who faced this bug, let me mention that the problem is still present (in 20.04).
Simplest example: $ sudo apt install libcurl4-gnutls-dev # Or some other variant … $ curl-config --static-libs /usr/bin/curl-config: 1: krb5-config: not found … It is easily fixed by $ sudo apt install libkrb5-dev but once more: considering curl-config uses krb5-config, libcurl*-dev should depend on libkrb5-dev. ** Changed in: curl (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to curl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1794476 Title: curl-config uses krb5-config, but libcurl4-openssl-dev only Suggests libkrb5-dev Status in curl package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Attempt to run curl-config on the system, on which libkrb5-dev is not installed, results in error /usr/bin/curl-config: krb5-config: not found At the same time, libcurl4-openssl-dev only Suggests libkrb5-dev. Either curl-config should gracefully handle lack of krb5-config, or the dependency should be stronger.
