Comment 3 PC LX 2022-03-11 17:55:38 CET
Installed and tested without issue.

This update has been in use for several days know and several core packages depend on gnutls. Along with the normal workstation usage, I also did some explicit tests with aria2c (a gnutls user) and nothing broke so this update gets an OK from me.

Please unOK if you find any issues.



System: Mageia 8, x86_654, Intel CPU.
