Thanks for getting back to us with this.

If this is true, this is a Debian issue and not really a curl issue.

- the recent libcurl3 vs libcurl4 bump was created by Debian and not by us.
(We made that already back in 2006.)

- you'd think that Debian would then ship a curlpp that's compatible with the
libcurl they ship (even if curlpp as a project seems mostly abandonded?)

- that soname bump *should not* be a reason for curlpp to stop working as
there's no ABI change or similar in libcurl that should reasonably motivate it
