 viber

I recently made a script for that. Works in Debian and other Debian-based distros (Ubuntu 18.04 tested - working). The script installs libssl1.0.0 (dependency), fakeroot & gdebi for the installation and finally Viber itself.

The problem here is indeed the libcurl package (Viber requires libcurl3 but the OS already uses libcurl4, so there's your conflict).

We'll need to create 2 files (.sh) and make them executable.

touch viber.sh repackager.sh

sudo chmod +x viber.sh repackager.sh

Double click viber.sh and inside it paste this:

sudo apt-get install gdebi fakeroot

wget -O libssl1.0.0 security-cdn.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/o/openssl/libssl1.0.0_1.0.1t-1+deb8u10_amd64.deb

sudo gdebi libssl1.0.0.deb

wget -O viber.deb http://download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/Linux/viber.deb

./repackager.sh

sudo gdebi viber4debian.deb

Now, double click repackager.sh (it's important to name it "repackager.sh", otherwise it won't work) and paste this:

#!/bin/sh

fakeroot sh -c "
