This is completely bizarre. I have never seen curl not install correctly on ubuntu using sudo apt install. But here were are.

just trying "curl" gives symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: curl_url_set, version CURL_OPENSSL_4

Why? If there are dependencies why aren't they installed first as normal? How do I fix this. Not having curl is a serious handicap. I have never encountered this on other ubuntu installations.

Closing as upgrade of kubuntu version "fixed" it.
