net-libs/gnutls-2.5.4 compiles and installs fine but doesn't work reliably. Certain functions (such as gnutls_x509_privkey_generate) fail with: The request is invalid. Even the bundled command line tool certtool shows the same problem: > certtool -p Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key... certtool: privkey_generate: The request is invalid. Tried: recompiling gcrypt, gnutls: no solution Tried: downgrading to gnutls: solved problem Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install gnutls-2.5.4 2. run certtool -p Actual Results: > certtool -p Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key... certtool: privkey_generate: The request is invalid.

can you try the version bump in bug 236690? (not commited yet due to selftest failure) Otherwise search the upstream email lists or changelog for a similar bug reports. Sorry for being slow. too little time.
I'm trying to add 2.6.0 which may have a self test error otherwise I'll try to add a later 2.5.* version soon. url refers to similar bug
got the same on 2.5.4 - got a result in 2.6.0 marking as won't fix as i won't mark 2.5.4 stable.
