For completeness, here is a pull request by Miro Hrončok to change the packaging of curl to something that FESCO would like to have for the proposed Fedora change to be accepted: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/curl/pull-request/14 Advantages: - libcurl-full can be automatically installed as a dependency in a dnf transaction without the need to use `--allowerasing` or `dnf swap`. Disadvantages: - It is incompatible with the current packaging used since RHEL-8. - It allows to install both libcurl-minimal and libcurl-full together. - It relies on complex RPM scriptlets to manipulate symlinks, which may misbehave in some corner cases, resulting in broken dnf stack.
