There are two strong possibilities here.

1. there is some problem with the lack of certs with RELP (gnutls may be
complaining, but we aren't seeing it), this type of problem seems very
common with RELP/TLS

2. there is a version issue that's currently being worked on for
compatibility between gnutls and rsyslog. gnutls dropped an API on a
version upgrade, and it's causing grief with rsyslog because we managed to
get into a state where we have some code (in TCP/TLS) that depends on the
API that was dropped, and other code (in RELP/TLS) that depends on an API
that was added in the newer version.

Add in the vulnerability in gnutls that was found recently, and the
different ways that the distros are dealing with this, and things are
rather messy right now.
