Thanks, confirmed.

Upstream seems to have changed the code to require installation of
both gcrypt and tasn versions that greater or equal version gnutls
was built against.

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnutls.git/commit/?h=gnutls_2_8_x&id=ce23654ab3b8097241c1639ebe3e853c4f67b6d7

I will try to convince them to change that (or if I fail patch it).

(See http://bugs.debian.org/495473 for comparison.)
