I was about to apply this... but in fact I don't see how lxc can use
gnutls. The configure script indeed has:

AC_CHECK_LIB([gnutls], [gnutls_hash_fast], [enable_gnutls=yes], [enable_gnutls=no])

But ${enable_gnutls} is only used to print a message. In the source
code, the gnutls related code is surrounded by HAVE_LIBGNUTLS
conditions, but this is never defined anywhere.

Bottom line, I don't see where gnutls is currently used in lxc in practice.

Best regards,
