[Bug 1020591] Re: subversion and GnuTLS internal error

[topaz]

Hi Christopher,

Ok, it works for me, but I forgot to mention that the most important step is definitely the libneon without gnutls.
As the bug seems to be linked with gnutls, not evicting it means not circumventing the bug.

So I basically downloaded libneon sources and compiled them by hand. The
easiest way is to use apt-get source:

here is the list of operation to recompile libneon27 without gnutls:

apt-get install build-essentials checkinstall
apt-get build-dep neon27
apt-get source neon27
cd /var/lib/neon27-0.29.6
./configure --with-ssl=openssl --prefix=/usr/local --enable-shared
fakeroot checkinstall --stripso=yes
dpkg -i libneon27-0.29.6....deb

# now replace the gnutls lib with the one compiled (to be redone upon upgrades)
rm /usr/lib/libneon-gnutls.so.27
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libneon.so.27 /usr/lib/libneon-gnutls.so.27

Enjoy :)
Topaz

Title:
  subversion and GnuTLS internal error

Status in “gnutls26” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “subversion” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Dear all,
  I'm experiencing an interesting bug around gnutls.

  My setup:
  - svn server running apache2+mod_ssl under 12.04 precise (last upgrades done),
  - svn client running 12.04 precise and providing a client ssl certificate,

  The problem:
  upon any svn operation (e.g. svn update), subversion output is:
  svn: OPTIONS of 'https://server/svn/trunk': SSL handshake failed: SSL error: GnuTLS internal error. (https://server)

  however if I use eclipse as my svn client, it works fine (with the
  same client certificate)

  Workaround:
  - reinstall (and force all) the package libgnutls26 version 2.10.5-1ubuntu3.1 from 11.10 Oneiric solves the problem but causes other applications to errors due to the broken libgcrypt11 dependency.

  Has anyone experienced the same problem ?

  Thanks in advance,
  Cheers
  Topaz.
