Public bug reported: Ubuntu version: 14.04
Affected package versions: - 2.12.23-12ubuntu2.4 - 2.12.23-12ubuntu2.5 Unaffected package versions: - 2.12.23-12ubuntu2.3 and older Description: When trying to connect to servers that have a RSA-MD5 signature in their certificate chain, gnutls26 fails to connect with "The signature algorithm is not supported." The root certificate of cacert uses RSA-MD5, so this can be reproduced by trying to connect to any server that uses their certs Downgrading to 2.12.23-12ubuntu2.3 workarounds the issue. This error originally appeared when trying to connect to jabber.ccc.de from bitlbee 3.2.1+otr4-1ubuntu0.2. gnutls28 is unaffected - The user who reported the issue moved to the bitlbee nightly build apt repo, which compiles against gnutls28 instead of 26, and that "fixed" the issue. OpenSSL has no issues connecting either. Actual behavior (with 2.12.23-12ubuntu2.4): $ gnutls-cli cacert.org Resolving 'cacert.org'...
