So just to get this straight, assuming I'm reading your post correctly, 
the pan available with mint 15 ships with ssl disabled (presumably due to 
the temporary license compatibility issues between the temporarily lgpl3+ 
gnutls, and the gpl2-only pan, fixed with gnutls reverting to gpl2+ once 
again), but reverting to the (same version, 0.139) pan that shipped with 
mint 13, with ssl enabled, works fine for mint 15 too. =:^)

Thanks for the information.  I expect even if nobody posts that they used 
it, there's very likely lurkers out there who will find it quite useful. 
=:^)

(I once had a rather enlightening and humbling experience where I learned 
to appreciate just how many lurkers there can be, otherwise invisibly 
finding such posts useful.  Luckily I was on the good side of that one, 
but it definitely left an impression, even if I /was/ on the good side! I 
could post the story if "encouraged", but here it would have simply 
overwhelmed the on-topic content, so...)
