Oh god no. Please don't do that. Don't force the square peg in the
round hole. Libraries are versioned for a reason! This will cause
crashes or random failures.

No need to be vague about it. Just download and install the correct
version of libcurl. That it requires libcurl.so.2 simply means that the
app was linked against an older version of libcurl. The ABI bump from 2
to 3 happened with the release of 7.12.0 so that means you need to
install 7.11.x.
