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

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  apache2-data libbrotli1 libonig2 libqdbm14 libssl1.0.2 php5-cli php5-json php5-readline
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:
  php7.2-fpm php7.4-fpm
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  apache2 apache2-bin libapache2-mod-php5 libapache2-mod-php7.2 libapache2-mod-php7.4 libcurl3 php5
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  curl libcurl4 php7.2-fpm php7.4-fpm

What am I doing wrong here?

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 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
