Hi,

thanks for sharing this.

We aren't advertising https:// for apt.postgresql.org anywhere, but
the download instructions tell users to "wget" the repository key from
https://www.postgresql.org, so we are at least somewhat affected.
(wget is using gnutls at least in unstable.)

That's probably rather the ca-certificates package?

If stretch/buster/bullseye are affected, these should be fixed, yes.

Though none of this is material for the PostgreSQL packages, can you
raise the issue with the LTS team?
