bug#36725: 26.1; Emacs can't connect to gnu elpa

[Lennard Henze]

Hey, I just double checked to not cause unnecessary confusion:

Crated new user on arch to get empty home:

used same .emacs as before, but without (setq gnutls-algorithm-priority "NORMAL:-VERS-TLS1.3"). After refreshing package list i can find undo-tree in gnu repos. When i try to install get the same bad request bug.

After adding the line (setq gnutls-algorithm-priority "NORMAL:-VERS-TLS1.3")

use-package downloads the package properly at startup and everything works fine.

Can i provide additional debug info?

Still not sure tho if its some dumb mistake in my os.

Yep, checked and it made no difference. Did get a little more wrt error info

gnutls.el: (err=[-50] The request is invalid.) boot: (:priority "NORMAL:-VERS-TLS1.3" :hostname melpa.org :loglevel 0 :min-prime-bits 256 :trustfiles (/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt) :crlfiles nil :keylist nil :verify-flags nil :verify-error nil :callbacks nil)

Also tried with TLS 1.2, same error.

Hmm, it does.  On the other hand, Lennard told me [Lennard, please use
"Reply All" next time so your response goes to the bug list] that (setq
gnutls-algorithm-priority "NORMAL:-VERS-TLS1.3") did actually help.

Tim, can you check the gnutls-algorithm-priority workaround too?
