[CentOS] gnutls bug

Before you update anything, I suggest you run

rpm -e --test gnutls

If this complains about "refers to more than one package" then use

rpm -e --test gnutls.i386 gnutls.x86_64

This will tell you what other packages depend on the gnutls library.
It's probably fewer than you think, because RHEL/CentOS have openssl
packages as well.  We determined that for our servers we could simply
remove gnutls (desktops are a different matter).

(Ideally "rpm -q --whatrequires" would tell you this, but in fact it
does not unless you know the magic string that fully names
"libgnutls.so...")
