[...] Hello, Thanks for the bugreport. I will try to get this fixed via a stable update. cu Andreas PS: I am downgrading to serious. Afaiui this is not "unrelated" software. Both gnome-terminal and xfce4-terminal link (indirectly) against gnutls and the error happens when actual gnutls code is invoked. (For encrypting the scrollback buffer?). The "unrelated software" clause is about something like a package overwriting /bin/bash. -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin. His other friends are so grateful to you.' `I sew his ears on from time to time, sure'
