Recently there was an update to gnutls3, which has a new dependency for libunbound.so. Where to install the unbound package, there is a dependency for OpenSSL-1.0.1f. Which I don't want getting installed on my system, so I deleted the (one) package that had introduced gnutls3.... All the other packages that want gnutls use the 2.x version. -- Who: Lawrence K.
