Package: libgnutls30
Version: 3.5.7-2
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

The current version of libgnutls30 cannot read PKCS#8 keys, you get:

  Failed to load private key as PKCS#8: An illegal parameter was found.

when using things like openconnect. This upstream PR fixed the bug:

  https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/merge_requests/185

I tried downgrading to 3.5.6-7 and that worked, though it's no longer in
the repo.
