3.7.15 removes support for https

[Cody A.W. Somerville]

Binary package hint: lftp

After upgrading to 3.7.15, lftp reports that the https protocol is not supported: "lftp: https - not supported protocol".

lftp (3.7.15-1ubuntu1) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/rules:
    - Remove '--without-ssl' from call to configure script as it entirely
      disables ssl support when GNUTLS is acceptable to link with and it
      is the default instead of openssl.

Turns out the issue is that GNUTLS stopped shipping libgnutls-config which lftp used to detect the version of libgnutls. However, instead of FTBFS lftp instead simply built without SSL support.

It also turns out that --without-ssl is bogus (I imagine --without-openssl is what was intended but its extraneous because that is the default).

To fix this, I patched configure.ac to use pkg-config as well as corrected a syntax issue to allow for autoreconf to run successfully.

Attached is a debdiff for karmic. I'll be sure to forward this upstream to Debian as well.

This seems to be fixed in the archive now (see Cody's comment above for the changelog), so closing properly.
