$ dpkg -L gnutls-bin

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.

I can confirm that the tpmtool binary is missing in this package. I did some research and it looks like it was built without tpm support. There's a request to enable this, but it doesn't seem to have gotten a reply since posted (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=790500).

Would be great to have this, or the manpage for tpmtool should be removed: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/mantic/man1/tpmtool.1.html
