Really very interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing


Now I'm convinced that the right fix for this is to revert upstream
d769529a71ccda4e833f919f3c5693d25b005ff0 [1] commit on libgcrypt like
Ubuntu did.

The Regression introduced on python-gnutls by such reversion was already
fixed on Ubuntu with another patch (see LP:#1013798 [2]) and they have
been running with the patch for some time without more problems (AFAIK)
so I think that we can assume that there are no more regressions.


Therefore I think we should reassign this bug back to libgcrypt11. Fix
it with a patch that reverts d769529a71ccda4e833f919f3c5693d25b005ff0
[1] and then fill another RC bug for python-gnutls asking for applying
the same patch that Ubuntu applied (see LP:#1013798 [2])

Andreas.. what do you think? looks this like the way to go for you?

Furthermore libgcrypt upstream seems to be ok with this change, isn't
it? [3]
