[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#950096: flatpak: Flatpak fails to open SSL connections with p11-kit 0.23.19

[Lennart Weller]

I did a downgrade on the host system back to the version currently in testing 0.23.18 and it works again.

There are some on-going discussions on the rolling release distros:

>From what I have gathered this requires a change of the runtime to interface with the p11-kit daemon correctly. But I don't know if that is something that can be quickly fixed on your side.
