Bug#740160: gnutls unusable with cacert SHA2-512 sigs

[Roger Lynn]

Package: libgnutls26
Version: 2.12.20-8+deb7u1
Followup-For: Bug #740160

Hi,

I've just renewed the CAcert certificate on my production server and found
this bug. At this point my options would appear to be to move to a different
GNU/Linux distribution or move to a new certificate provider. Is that correct?

Thanks,

Roger
