Since nettle < 3.1 does not use versioned symbols this causes a segfault. nettle 3.1 provides versioned symbols but that does not help for the pending transition. A wget binary linked directly against libnettle4 (unversioned) and indirectly (via gnutls) against libnettle6 (versioned) still crashes. This needs changes on the nettle side of things, but I will keep the bug-report open here. Looks like we need a two-step transition: nettle 2.7 -> nettle 2.7+versioned_symbols , nettle 2.7+versioned_symbols -> nettle 3.1. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
