Source: openldap
Version: 2.4.39-1

Hello,

given that gmp has been dual-licensed LGPLv3+/GPLv2+ it should be
possible to switch openldap over to the newer version of gnutls.

Upstream's 0205e83f4670d10ad3c6ae4b8fc5ec1d0c7020c0 lets the Debian
package build successfully (including testsuite).

However even with patch there is still some work to be done. 
libraries/libldap/tls_g.c has some gcrypt related code that should be
simply unnecessary with gnutls3, therefore it should not link against
libgcrypt either. (Except for
contrib/slapd-modules/smbk5pwd/smbk5pwd.c).

thanks, cu Andreas
