The solution is to install the package libgnutls26, which should be a 
dependency of emacs but isn't.  Could someone please add it?

This is a packaging error on my part, due to the fact that the test 
version of emacs requires libgnutls28.  Until the test version becomes 
the current version, I'll have to require both.

Thanks for the report.

Ken
