It is a problem because libcurl3 conflicts with libcurl4 when installed and breaks other apps.

Store libcurl locally?

[Oflameo]

I tried using dpkg-deb to change the dependencies in the control file to be libcurl4 as described by adobe/brackets#14171. I learned a new tool, but I got the same error. I need to figure out how to compile and link in a libcurl3.

[Oflameo]

I went and installed libcurl3 with the default zero-k deb as a control test, and it still didn't work. I need my Zero-K fix soon.

[Oflameo]

Zero-K is libcurl4 compatible. My problem was with mono. Here was the fix. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49242075/mono-bug-magic-number-is-wrong-542. I'll send a patch in to fix the deb package's control file this weekend.

Starting the game with the game launcher currently works.
