Bug#835342: curl or git clone commands throws "gnutls_handshake() failed" on https targets

[marcelomendes at gmail.com]

Package: libgnutls30
Version: 3.5.3-2
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

Trying to git clone a github repo using libgnutls30 3.5.3-2 trhow the following
error:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/xxx/yyy/': gnutls_handshake()
failed: Public key signature verification has failed.

Same happens for curl:

curl https://duckduckgo.com
curl: (35) gnutls_handshake() failed: Public key signature verification has
failed.

Downgrading to libgnutls30 3.5.2-2 solves the issue

PS.: For some reason I can't find this version on the debian repository
anymore, but I did on another machine previously and it worked as stated above:

dpkg -l | grep libgnutls
ii  libgnutls30:amd64               3.5.2-2                     amd64
GNU TLS library - main runtime library

PS2.: A (maybe) related bug can be found here https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=834724
