I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

I need to use curl package. But it comes in version 7.35.0 with known SSL bug (already fixed in next version)

I either need lower version <= 7.33.0 or higher >= 7.36.0 to make it works, but how can I do it?

Do I need to manually install curl? I checked synaptics, "Force Version" feature is greyed out. I also checked apt-cache showpkg curl, there is no other version available. I also tried to add "proposed" repositories, no new curl version either.

What should I do? I am thinking about getting .deb package from previous ubuntu release...

    You either need to find a ppa with the new version or compile from source. – Panther May 28 '14 at 15:32

7.36 is in a ppa

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:costamagnagianfranco/ettercap-stable-backports
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install curl

To show all versions available, use the "madison" option for apt-cache

See How can I see all versions of a package that are available in the archive?

To specify a specific version with apt-get see How to install specific Ubuntu packages, with exact version?
