Package: python-gnutls
Version: 2.0.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream
In gnutls/library/functions.py, line 1401, it tries to access the C
library function "gnutls_certificate_get_openpgp_key", to determine if
the OpenPGP functions are present in the library. (This is a change
from the old code for the old GnuTLS library, which tried to access
"gnutls_certificate_get_openpgp_keyring" instead, but that function
has been removed in the new GnuTLS library, so the change was
necessary.) The problem is that the function accessed, called
"gnutls_certificate_get_openpgp_key", does not exist, and has never
existed in any version of GnuTLS I could find. Therefore, the code in
functions.py determines that OpenPGP support is not present and does
not import the needed functions from the C library. By reading the
following code in functions.py, and comparing with the old version, I
am pretty sure that what was actually meant was instead the function
"gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_key". Indeed, when changed to that,
the functions in the Python module are present, callable and working.
