SSL handshake failed: SSL error: Key usage violation in certificate has been detected

Question

I have installed kdesvn in ubuntu. But when I am trying to checkout, getting this error.

SSL handshake failed: SSL error: Key usage violation in certificate has been detected.

I have came across the solution for this as

sudo mv /usr/lib/libneon-gnutls.so.27 /usr/lib/libneon-gnutls.so.27.old
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libneon.so.27 /usr/lib/libneon-gnutls.so.27

or

sudo apt-get install libneon27
cd /usr/lib
sudo rm libneon-gnutls.so.27
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libneon.so.27 libneon-gnutls.so.27

But Still I am getting the same error.

Answer 1

Execute the following commands

sudo apt-get install libneon27
cd /usr/lib
sudo rm libneon-gnutls.so.27
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libneon.so.27 libneon-gnutls.so.27 (double check that symbolic link is created)

you may need to restart after that. Now when you do svn checkout, An option will come to trust the certificate permanently. Do that.
