As I asked in the other thread how did you get libcurl4 installed?
Did you touch your apt sources?

you can see what depends on libcurl like this

$ apt-cache rdepends --installed libcurl3
libcurl3
Reverse Depends:
  virtualbox-5.2
 |flashplayer-mozilla


Just put libcurl4 instead of libcurl3.

I guess you changed the apt sources. In that case go back to stable
(stretch), purge libcurl4 and install libcurl3

But... there's still the question of HOW you got libcurl4 in the first
place.  There is no libcurl4 package in stretch.

As you can see on <https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libcurl4>
it is only in buster and sid.

So, you probably frankendebianed your system at some point.  That's
the larger issue that people were trying to uncover.  You might have
undone *some* of the damage just now, by removing this one particular
testing/unstable package, but there could be more.

Ok, but then the question is where do you get libcurl3 from?

mixing libraries compiled against different version is dangerous.
