libcurl.so.3

hello, i was getting this error from httpup "httpup: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". Providing libcurl.so.3 via "ln -s libcurl.so libcurl.so.3" got me rid of this... Is this a known problem - I cant currently update my system since rsync is blocked by my ISP. matthias pfeifer
