Question / Help OBS conflicting with Slack and Viber

[Mitko]

I want to install OBS Studio, but when i try to install it i am getting this:

Следният пакет е бил инсталиран автоматично и вече не е необходим:
gconf2
Използвайте „sudo apt autoremove“ за да го премахнете.
The following additional packages will be installed:
libcurl4 libfdk-aac1
Следните пакети ще бъдат ПРЕМАХНАТИ:
libcurl3 slack-desktop viber
Следните НОВИ пакети ще бъдат инсталирани:
libcurl4 libfdk-aac1 obs-studio

Sorry it is in bulgarian, but i am using Ubuntu in bulgarian. So the basic idea is that obs studio is using libcurl4 and slack and viber are using libcurl3 and when i am trying to install obs it wants to remove the v3 and with them also slack and viber and install obs. So what i can do in order to have all 3 software installed in my machine.

I am running Ubuntu 18.04 With slack 3.1.1 and viber 7

This is a packaging issue with your third party applications (slack and viber). They do not build against the version of libcurl(4) that is standard on ubuntu 18.04. Packaging issues like this should be taken up with package maintainers e.g. whoever maintains the PPA or .deb you are pulling for slack.

This is not a bug in OBS but due to the ubuntu packaging system and notably that the slack/viber packages you use are outdated for 18.04 while the obs-studio package you are using is up to date.

i manage to fix this issue using those commands and just changed the libcurl3 to libcurl4 and installed slack and viber again and now everything is working fine :)

1. dpkg-deb -x viber.deb tmpdir
2. dpkg-deb --control viber.deb tmpdir/DEBIAN
3. nano tmpdir/DEBIAN/control (change from libcurl3 to libcurl4)
4. dpkg -b tmpdir hackedViber.deb
