This worked, in the sense that Emacs compiles with GNUTLS enabled and GMP disabled. However, when I try to open servers in gnus, I get the following error message for each server (whether pop, imap, or nntp): ,---- | Decrypting /home/ucecesf/s/dotfiles/authinfo.gpg...done | Mail source (pop :server XXX :user YYY :port 995) error (Getting random data). | Continue? (y or n) `---- I have a feeling that this is gnutls related but I am not sure. Any pointers would again be very welcome! I may have to consider upgrading that computer to Debian stretch... but that would be my last resort. -- Eric S Fraga via Emacs 28.0.50 & org 9.3.7 on Debian bullseye/sid
