The error message is telling you that sensio/distribution-bundle v4 requires sensiolabs/security-checker v2.0.x, which in turn requires the PHP curl extension, which is not installed. So composer cannot (currently) fulfil the requirements specified in your composer.json. At a basic level, you need to install the curl extension.

Why this happened in your case is difficult to determine without more detail:

  • Have you recently upgraded from distribution bundle v3 to v4? Looks like the dependency on security-checker was introduced between those. You could possibly revert to v3 to avoid this issue.
  • Has the PHP environment changed, to remove the curl extension?

As you can see from message: you need to install ext-curl extension for PHP.

To install it in Ubuntu you need to run next command: 

sudo apt-get install php5-curl

Don't forget to restart apache (or fpm) after it:

sudo service apache2 restart

or fpm:

sudo service php5-fpm restart
