[Brian Murray]

Hello Thorsten, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnutls26 into precise-proposed. The package will build now and
be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Bug description:
  Impact:

  gnutls-cli (linked with libgnutls26, like the OpenLDAP client
  libraries) cannot contact our LDAP server securely in precise

  Test case:

  if you generate two CA
  certificates (#1 and #2) with the same DN and hash, then sign the LDAP server’s
  certificate (#3) with #2, not #1, GnuTLS 2.x will not validate it.

  Regression potential:

  the fix is coming from upstream and is available in Debian

  Hi,

  while trying to debug NSS with LDAP and SSL (not LP#423252 because it
  failed even for nōn-suid programmes) I found that gnutls-cli (linked
  with libgnutls26, like the OpenLDAP client libraries) cannot contact
  our LDAP server securely in precise. More testing resulted in
  determining this to be a regression between natty and oneiric, still
  present in precise. I’m in contact with upstream about this already.
  More information will thus follow.
