I'm facing this issue in my Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS (fossa-charmander-14 X60). I've bought new DELL Latitude 5420. When I type the command "curl" this error shows up.
curl: symbol lookup error: curl: undefined symbol: curl_url_cleanup
parveen@eagle:~$ sudo apt install curl

It says I already have curl, but I think it's not properly linked. When I type "man curl" it shows all manual docs about curl. But it's not working, please help me guys.
I found a solution. First I used this command sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/curl* to remove curl from this location. Then if I type curl it shows me the error bash: /usr/local/bin/curl: No such file or directory. Then I used type curl which gave me the output curl is hashed (/snap/bin/curl). Then I used hash -d curl, after this my curl started working.
Comments from this answer really helped.
