Dear Maintainer,

Please consider switching to gnutls28 to use more up to date
implementation. Previous licensing concerns (GPLv2-only incompatibility)
of gnutls28 have now been resolved.

Furthermore, with new gnutls gcrypt dependency is no longer required as
gnutls can perform thread locking itself. [1]

Please consider applying following patch:

[1] gnutls 2.12 release announcement:
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_global_set_mutex() to allow setting
alternative locking procedures. By default the system available
locking is used. In *NIX pthreads are used and in windows the
critical section API. This follows a different approach than the
previous versions that depended on libgcrypt initialization. The
locks are now set by default in systems that support it. Programs
that used gcry_control() to set thread locks should insert it into
a block of
#if GNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER <= 0x020b00
        gcry_control(...)
#endif
