Installation on Ubuntu 18.04 is broken

[bachmeier]

I would file a bug, but I don't have time to dig into this now, 
and it would just sit there with no response for six months 
anyway.

I cannot find a way to get std.net.curl to work with Ubuntu 
18.04. Details can be found here:
https://forum.dlang.org/thread/bug-18649-3@https.issues.dlang.org%2F
but that only lets you install the package without having a 
broken package management system. It resolves nothing wrt 
actually being able to use curl, which is part of the standard 
library, and should be expected to work.

I tried using the install script, but that leads to this bug
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18808
which was filed more than a month ago and still hasn't received a 
response.

This experiment with having a new release every couple of weeks 
was fun, but can we please be realistic about our resources, and 
move to a sensible schedule. D is simply not an option in 
situations that require reliability. And all the various 
deprecations and language changes that are inserted in these 
high-frequency releases (changes of arbitrary size can come with 
little warning in *any* release) make it that much more difficult.
