I just upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 from 16.04. However, I am getting this error with respect to miktex:

Removing miktex (2.9.6650-1) ...
miktexsetup: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4: version
`CURL_OPENSSL_3' not found (required by miktexsetup)
dpkg: error processing package miktex (--remove):

At this time, it seems miktex has not yet been updated to work with Ubuntu 18.04. I recommend using texlive instead:

sudo aptitude install texlive

You can remove the miktex package:

sudo aptitude -f remove miktex

However, fully removing miktex is more complicated because the package is just an installer. If you installed it in your home directory, look in ~/bin for remnants. Otherwise look in /usr/local/bin.

  • Hi, so by the time I saw this answer I had already tried something that works - https://askubuntu.com/questions/893788/e-sub-process-usr-bin-dpkg-returned-an-error-code-1-linux-image-4-8

    But thanks for the suggestion of installing texlive!
