Gnutls is a dependency of Jami, curl is probably a dependency of a dependency of Jami, but that's all - what is important here is that Jami uses a modified version of pjproject, which adds support for gnutls - that's why patching fails. What happened with curl is a mystery for me, the only thing I know is that building curl had failed before building pjproject-jami, so I thought the patching process succeeded.

Don't know why, but Jami seems to use a specific version of gnutls, but if what you say is true, then it doesn't matter. I started looking for outdated dependencies, because I thought they could be the source of the problem. > There are many reasons not to include multiple versions of a package, > but for cURL and GnuTLS in particular, the main reason is that there > are security fixes in nearly every new version.
