[Pkg-gnutls-maint] Bug#409984: libgnutls-dev: sample source code results in non-working programs

[Russell Coker]

Package: libgnutls-dev
Version: 1.4.4-3
Severity: normal

http://source-dump.blogspot.com/2007/02/gnutls-bug-in-sample-code.html

In the above blog entry I have included the complete source that I use
(which was taken from gnutls.html in gnutls-doc).  When run it gives a
handshake failure.

This is either a bug in gnutls-dev or a bug in gnutls-doc (feel free to
re-assign it to gnutls-doc if you think it's a documentation error).  In
either case it is a serious bug that prevents people from writing gnutls
programs.

I am unable to get the bhm component of the postal package in Unstable to
work correctly due to this bug.
