As reported |
| 2 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147800 gnutls-1.4.4 links itself |
| 3 |
against an existing gnutls-1.2* version if installed. I haven't been able to |
| 4 |
find the cause of this. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
After gnutls-1.4.4 is merged, this is evident by examining: |
| 7 |
readelf -d /usr/lib/libgnutls-extra.so |
| 8 |
- 0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libgnutls.so.12] |
| 9 |
(means it linked to previous version 1.2*) |
| 10 |
- 0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libgnutls.so.13] |
| 11 |
(means its good - this happens when a gnutls-1.4* is installed or no gnutls is |
| 12 |
previously installed.) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
gnutls-1.4.4 has an outstanding security bug |
| 15 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147682 and bug 147800 needs to be |
| 16 |
fixed before it can be marked stable. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I'm sure the current patch against gnutls-1.4.4 is not needed. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I would appreciate it if anyone with a little time on their hands and a |
| 21 |
willingness to get intimate with the gnutls build process (standard |
| 22 |
autoconf/automake) would take the time to get it fixed. (note autoconf-2.60 |
| 23 |
will be required for autoconf changes) |
| 24 |

Please post any corrections attached to this bug report. |

If anyone missed my previous plea to do some preliminary testing with gnutls |
| 28 |
here it is again: |
| 29 |
------------------- |
| 30 |
To participate please: |
| 31 |
1. add |
| 32 |
~net-libs/gnutls-1.4.4 |
| 33 |
~dev-libs/libtasn1-0.3.5 |
| 34 |
to /etc/portage/package.unmask and /etc/portage/package.keywords files. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
2. emerge -1 ~net-libs/gnutls-1.4.4 |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
3. run revdep-rebuild |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
4. and report bugs on bugs.gentoo.org making them block bug 147682 |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
revdep-rebuild may get the order of the rebuild incorrect so please watch out |
| 43 |
for this error. |
