Libtasn1 isn't strictly required for building GnuTLS - GnuTLS includes an
internal copy in the case libtasn1 package (header, binaries and
libraries)
is not present. So I am not sure if we have to place libtasn1 as a
requirement to GnuTLS (current version at the time of writing is 2.8.1);
I think we have to do it as there other similar cases (e.g., firefox and
its dependencies).
So this is one addition to the patch, plus we have to add also libtasn1
as dependency to the gnome-keyring page (when it will be updated), since
that is the main reason that the ticket was created. I don't build gnome
and I don't know if it is a valid dependency or not (suppose it is but I
don't see a separate ticket for gnome-keyring; (ok found it) the #2482
ticket is handling the whole gnome update, and there is a comment from Dj
that says that libtasn1 is required).
