I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

I need to use curl package. But it comes in version 7.35.0 with known SSL bug (already fixed in next version)

I either need lower version <= 7.33.0 or higher >= 7.36.0 to make it works, but how can I do it?

Do I need to manually install curl? I checked synaptics, "Force Version" feature is greyed out. I also checked apt-cache showpkg curl, there is no other version available. I also tried to add "proposed" repositories, no new curl version either.

What should I do? I am thinking about getting .deb package from previous ubuntu release...
