Package: gajim Version: 0.15.1-4.1 Severity: normal Hello,
Without the python-pyasn1 package Gajim cannot properly verify validity of server SSL certificates, it will always fail with a misleading error message of "The certificate does not cover this domain." [1] What's worse, this does not give any indication that it's not a problem with the certificate, but that "python-pyasn1" merely needs to be installed. Encryption support is a critical piece of functionality in a modern IM client, it can't be something that's optional, or needs additional components to be manually installed. (And for example I run my system with APT::Install-Recommends "false", with this is the first noticeable breakage caused by this that I can remember in years.) Given that python-pyasn1 is a 51KB package which itself does not have any non-trivial dependencies, I think upgrading this to "Depends" should be a no-brainer.
