 The upstream author removed this exception some release ago. I think there was
 a problem on the host where my package has been rebuild. My sponsor has
 uploaded the new upstream release which doesn't seem to be affected.

 The new package will be available this evening, i will closed this bug report
 tomorrow if this bug does not happen in this new version. I'll explicitly ask
 for linking against gnutls to avoid such problems in the future.

 Cheers.
