libgnutls30 is already the newest version (3.6.13-2ubuntu1.8).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
One last thing, when I tried with aptitude tho, there are a bit more info but seems risky so I didn't proceed further (check the second step).
sudo aptitude install libcurl3-gnutls
The following packages will be upgraded:
