Description David Walser 2013-07-27 17:16:31 CEST
At some point during gnutls 3.1.x development the license was changed to LGPLv3, which causes a licensing issue with probably lots of things that link against it (GPLv2 programs).  The license was changed back to LGPLv2.1 in 3.1.10 to fix this problem.  We had actually patched wireshark to illegally link against it (whoops!).  Updating gnutls will make this OK again.  Obviously, 3.1.13 also fixes several other bugs vs. version 3.1.8.

Advisory:
----------------------------------------

This update provides which fixes a license conflict issue for other software
that may be linked against it, including Wireshark, as well as several other
bugs.

Testing complete on Mageia 3 i586 and x86_64, as part of testing
for wireshark, in bug 10858.

Could someone from the sysadmin team push 10857.adv to updates.
