Time permitting, I'd like to switch git to using libcurl3-gnutls (for a
few different reasons --- sidestepping the libgmp licensing issue is
one, and the possibility of better interoperability with some broken
servers is another).  Using "affects" makes it easier for me to track
this bug when working on the git package.

Could we keep it open?  It's the only report that tracks the symptom
instead of that specific proposed fix --- e.g., if libcurl could use the
shared nssdb instead of PEM certificates when using the NSS backend,
that would be a fine way to solve this.

If you don't want to keep track of it, I can reassign to git.  And if
you want to drop libcurl3-nss until libnsspem gets packaged, that
would be another fine way of closing this and I wouldn't mind.

Thanks,
Jonathan
