I'm trying to install cURL and then php-curl on Ubuntu 18.04 but it removes Apache when I do this.

$  sudo apt install libcurl4 curl

Did you run `sudo apt autoclean` and `sudo apt autoremove`? – FedKad Jul 07 '20 at 19:50
What happens if you just run `sudo apt update`? – Organic Marble Jul 07 '20 at 20:20
Found [a possibly-relevant Q](https://askubuntu.com/q/128524/411468) about finding dependencies of a package that includes methods for finding dependents in some of the comments. No direct answer though; sorry. – l3l_aze Jul 07 '20 at 22:31
It likely doesn't have anything to do with curl, does just `apt upgrade` yield the same result? – Ginnungagap Jul 08 '20 at 06:00
