[Bug 1020591] Re: subversion and GnuTLS internal error

[John Ryan]

Hi Andrew,

I believe the patch works.  I was unable to use dpkg-buildpackage to
build a new gnutls deb because a number of the gnutls tests failed (due
to an issue with libgcrypt?!).  However, I could manually configure and
build a new gnutls library and I was able to successfully use my client
certificates with subversion to check out a source tree off my server.

Do you know if this upstream fix has made been incorporated into Quantal
or Raring?  My experience with Quantal would suggest not but I haven't
tried Raring yet.

Thanks for your efforts - I hope this patch gets accepted and the new
version released to the repositories soon.

Happy New Year,
John

Title:
  subversion and GnuTLS internal error

Status in “gnutls26” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “subversion” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Dear all,
  I'm experiencing an interesting bug around gnutls.

  My setup:
  - svn server running apache2+mod_ssl under 12.04 precise (last upgrades done),
  - svn client running 12.04 precise and providing a client ssl certificate,

  The problem:
  upon any svn operation (e.g. svn update), subversion output is:
  svn: OPTIONS of 'https://server/svn/trunk': SSL handshake failed: SSL error: GnuTLS internal error. (https://server)

  however if I use eclipse as my svn client, it works fine (with the
  same client certificate)

  Workaround:
  - reinstall (and force all) the package libgnutls26 version 2.10.5-1ubuntu3.1 from 11.10 Oneiric solves the problem but causes other applications to errors due to the broken libgcrypt11 dependency.

  Has anyone experienced the same problem ?

  Thanks in advance,
  Cheers
  Topaz.
