[Pkg-gnutls-maint] Bug#449349: libgnutls13: lftp fails with gnutls_record_recv error

[Astrid de Wijn]

Package: libgnutls13
Version: 2.0.1-1
Severity: normal

This is bug occurs in combination with lftp.  The error suggests that the bug is
in libgnutls13 and not lftp, but I have no idea what is going on, so i am
not completely sure of this.  Please forward this to the lftp maintainer if
you think the problem is there.

After connecting to the https server, and starting a download,
at first everything is fine.  But after some time the download fails
with the following error:

astrid at xar:/tmp$ lftp https://server.somethingorother/directory/
lftp server.somethingorother:/directory> mget file1
mget: Fatal error: gnutls_record_recv: GnuTLS internal error.
lftp server.somethingorother:/directory>

I have reproduced the problem with the same package versions, but on
machines that are not being looked after by me.

The files i'm getting usually end up a few megabytes large (file names altered
to protect privacy)
-rw-r--r-- 1 astrid astrid 15368192 Nov  5 11:34 /tmp/file1
-rw-r--r-- 1 astrid astrid  6029312 Nov  5 11:50 /tmp/file2

When I reproduced the bug on another machine, the resulting file sizes
were exactly the same.

Because i have no idea what is going on, i'm not able to tell you anything
else intelligent.  Please let me know if you need any further information
from me.
