I was trying to install DiffMerge. I downloaded the .deb package from the SourceGear website. But while installing it, it shows the following error

dependency is not satisfiable :libcurl3(>=7.16.2-1)

As I am studying Java, I need DiffMerge as it helps to compare the codes.

    What version of Ubuntu are you on? That is a very old version of libcurl, and all currently supported versions have a newer libcurl available. Though versions newer than 18.04 may no longer have libcurl3 as the ABI changed, so the package you're trying to install would need to be rebuilt against a newer curl.
