Installing CURL on Ubuntu Karmic

Question

Trying to get this up and running:

I have everything except CURL installed and when I attempt to, it fails with the following:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  curl

Need to get 196kB of archives.
After this operation, 311kB of additional disk space will be used.

Thank you!

It is past time to upgrade. You should start looking at that now. Yuor system is almost certainly vulnerable to several security issues. Support was dropped for that release over 18 months ago. — Zoredache, Oct 30 '12 at 21:51

Karmic is no longer supported, you have get update from old-versions mirror.

add:

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted

to sources.list

I am sure you meant karmic, not gutsy right? – Zoredache Oct 30 '12 at 21:52
