GnuTLS is a secure communications library implementing the SSL, TLS and 
DTLS protocols and technologies around them. It provides a simple C 
language application programming interface (API) to access the secure 
communications protocols as well as APIs to parse and write X.509, PKCS#12, 
OpenPGP and other required structures.

This is an update to the latest "current stable" release:

On latest Cygwin x86 and 64, with all current updates, wget generates spurious
error messages for https transactions on a direct network connection.

Rolling back to [prev] 3.5.13-1 gnutls eliminates the message.

Confirmed; this will be fixed by an upcoming update to p11-kit.

This is not recommended, as the latest version includes several security
fixes.  The message itself is harmless meanwhile.
