CodePudding user response：

Manually download libcurl3 from https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/libcurl3/download

Then use apt install /path/to/package/downloaded/libcurl3_7.58.0-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb to install the missing dependency. Or you can use

dpkg -i /path/to/package/downloaded/libcurl3_7.58.0-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb
apt-get install -f

Run apt update, apt upgrade and apt install php7.2-curl to finally install curl extension.

CodePudding user response：

Ubuntu 21.04 (hirsute) comes with php7.4 and libcurl4. Unfortunatelly libcurl3 is not present in official repos. I suggest you to update PHP to version 7.4 so you can use packeges from Ubuntu repository: https://packages.ubuntu.com/hirsute/php7.4-curl

To do so remove all old php modules you installed with apt remove php* and install with 'apt install php7.4 php7.4-curl'.

Otherwise, if you really need PHP version 7.2, I can suggest to downgrade to Ubuntu 18.04LTS (bionic).
