Thanks for the reply, can you give some specifics about the changes and
what to check?
gnutls went from LGPL-2.1+ to LGPL-3+, so it can't be linked with stuff
that's GPL-2 only. I can't remember the list of packages, but I seem to
recall cups and gtk-vnc being part of the problematic ones.
I like to consider myself knowledgeable about this sort of thing, and
that being an incompatibility surprises me since I thought that all
manner of differently-licensed software could link with LGPL libraries.
Could you point me to some sort of explanation of how this works?

I'm still confused here, since unless I'm mistaken I can link
proprietary programs with LGPL-3+ software, but evidently not GPL 2
programs?
That implies there's something in the GPL-2 itself that prohibits such a
thing, but I can't seem to find detail in the FAQ there.
