[Pkg-giraffe-discuss] Bug#812969: libvmime: FTBFS: net_tls_TLSSession.cpp:120:38: error: 'gnutls_certificate_type_set_priority' was not declared in this scope

[Carsten Schoenert]

Hello,

as there are no objections I plan to upload a version 0.9.1-5 this
weekend with the modifications from the previous email.
Hopefully we will see a version 0.9.2 of libvmime in the near future
with some security related fixes.
