Hi all,
I bounced this message to debian-devel to force a solution with the
curl ssl/gnutlds diverties.
On Tue, 30 Aug 2005 the mental interface of
Daniel Stenberg told:

My resume on Daniels point of view is to get a different .so name
for gnutls in the very short term and kick off ssl in Debian apps
midterm! Note, this will _not be done upstream_! This is not as hard
as Marco's demand, but we have to do it in that way. There are some
curl based packages like oggvorbistools, moc etc which are at the
moment uninstallable and herewith I invite Domenico to provide a
package where gnutls and ssl can exist beside in one installation.
For me, as a not much experienced voluntary I'll spend some spare
time to understand the technique on how to do that and hopefully can
assist Domenico to create a package.
