Quick and dirty indeed; even assuming that this doesn't break over the
API change that caused the version change, this won't add libcurl.so.2
to the RPM database and hence RPM will still complain about the missing
libcurl.so.2 dependency. So, to work around that you need to force-
install the RPM. Do *that* a few times and you might as well forget
RPM's dependency management altogether and just keep your fingers
crossed that the system keeps working.
