Package: subversion
Version: 1.6.17dfsg-3
Followup-For: Bug #507374

Dear Maintainer,

After an upgrade recently (say a month ago), svn to plain vanilla
sourceforge.net repositories stopped with

  SSL handshake failed: Secure connection truncated.

Now, I already knew what to do about this since I tracked down the same
symptom some months before (yes, real debugging) to a mistaken ssl
connect, and I'd cured it then by figuring out that libneon27 should be
preloaded clientside in order to displace libneon27-gnutls, which seemed
not to be real compatible with whatever ssl sourceforge are using.
Recompiling the client against libneon27 also made the problem
disappear back then.

However, the problem had gone away about march 2011 with successive
upgrades (I'd encountered it first in january).  So I'd ceased using my
preload workaround.

But the connect problem came back after recent upgrades.

Cured it the same way - reestablished my shell alias for svn :

   # fix svn to not use libneon-gnutls
   alias svn '( setenv LD_PRELOAD /usr/lib/libneon.so.27; \svn \!* )'

(tcsh).

Now, however, I've got back home from my travels and found that
the unaliased svn still seems to be OK.  Both are fine.  Perhaps it only
went wrong when I used my telephone as a wireless hub?  That was
slowwwww ...  perhaps there's a timeout in the libneon27-gnutls code
that is much tighter than the libneon27 timeout? Or perhaps it has to
work just once to fix everything?

When I start travelling again I'll try it both ways.
