[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 1255631] [NEW] PlayOnLinux requires curl even though it isn't a dependancy

[Ads20000]

Public bug reported:

When I try to open PlayOnLinux from Terminal with the command
`playonlinux` or from the Application Finder (Xubuntu) I get the
following message:


`PlayOnLinux cannot find curl (from cURL)

You need to install it to continue`


If it needs to have curl to be run, surely it should be a dependancy?
