[Bug 1872778] Re: update-crypto-policies not affecting Gnome Online Accounts

[Art Du Rea]

Thunderbird has gotten really balky, so I decided to try Evolution.

Bad News.  I have no trouble with Thunderbird, which Autoconfigures
accounts nicely, but Evolution pops up this error, so I can NOT set up
any accounts and my solution is: I'm NOT changing from Thunderbird.
Evolution not working is NOT an option and I am NOT messing around
wasting time to try to make it work.

Linux Mint 20.2 Mate 64-bit LiveMedia in ROM (Locked Kanguru USB drive)
Thunderbird    78.8.1 (64-bit)
Evolution      3.36.5-0ubuntu1

Title:
  update-crypto-policies not affecting Gnome Online Accounts

Status in gnome-online-accounts package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in gnutls28 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  -crypto-policies 20190816git-1
  -gnome-online-accounts 3.36.0-1ubuntu1

  Changing between DEFAULT, LEGACY, and EMPTY has no affect on attempts
  to connect to accounts through Online Accounts.

  Changing to LEGACY or EMPTY should at least change the following
  error:

  Error performing TLS handshake: The Diffie-Hellman prime sent by the
  server is not acceptable (not long enough).

  Under either LEGACY or EMPTY the (not long enough) error is
  nonsensical. The persistence of the incorrect error message could
  imply that gnome-online-accounts is not respecting settings made by
  crypto-policies.
