Bug#263680: Please use gcrypt11/gnutls11 instead of gcrypt7/gnutls10

Thu, 5 Aug 2004 13:29:47 +0200

Subject: Please use gcrypt11/gnutls11 instead of gcrypt7/gnutls10
Package: gnome-db2
Severity: important

'mergeant' depends on gcrypt7 or gnutls10.

These packages are no longer supported by Upstream and contain serious
deficiencies / bugs which may turn out to be a security problem.
See [0] and followup emails, and [1] for further details.

Therefore, we want to get rid of gcrypt7 and gnutls10 in Sarge.

gcrypt11 and gnutls11 have an upwards-compatible API; in most cases you
only have to update your debian/control file.

Please upload a fixed version soon.  Thank you.

NB: I plan to do NMUs (on 2004-08-15) for any packages which haven't
    been updated at that time.
