To fix /usr/bin/curl: curl_mime_type: symbol not found Errors when trying to run curl in a running alpine pod.
Right solution: Update base alpine image because this is a bigger issue
Quick fix: run Alpine system upgrade (or upgrade libcurl package specifically):
apk update
apk upgrade
apk add -U curl
