As I've said in https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git- core/+bug/178603/comments/2 already (and as the Debian bug states):
Fetching through http is just one part of git core, and not necessarily used by all users. That's why the git-core package Recommends: curl, most of it works just fine without curl being installed. That's what Recommends is meant for and the error message in case of failure is clear enough IMHO: /usr/bin/git-clone: 356: curl: not found The most common way to use git is the git protocol itself, and for this curl isn't required. -- git-core requires curl but doesn't download it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/52711 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
