I'll ignore that message now.

Good.

Ok.

Then the only remaining linda warning was the one about
gnutls12/gnutls13 double dependency.  I think I'll ignore that until I
understand exactly what real problem is caused by it.  The binaries
does not appear to link to two different libgnutls versions, so I
don't see a problem.
