Run this command : locate libcurl.so.4Result will be :

1. /YOUR_PATH/libcurl.so.4 (generally the path is "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4")
2. /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4.5.0

Remove the file which is causing the error usingsudo rm /YOUR_PATH/libcurl.so.4 command.

Recreate softlink by using following command :sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4.5.0 /YOUR_PATH/libcurl.so.4
