Bug#768841: libgnutls-deb0-28: SIGABRT when loading certificates

Coin,

You're right, this fixed the problem for both minbif and ircd-ratbox.

I disagree. When a bug breaks other packages, this is clearly  
unsuitable for release and ought to be RC. It can't be critical as it  
does not break "unrelated softwares […]". It can't be serious as it is  
not a matter of policy. For a library, which only use is to provide  
functions to other programs, to cause crashes to many rdeps is in my  
opinion being "unusable or mostly so".


Well, thanks for your help. I think the next step is ensuring this fix  
enters Jessie. 3.3.10 does not seem to add more than a few fixes  
(which at first glance seem important). It could be reasonable to  
discuss an unblock with the RT.

Regards.
