Error on SVN checkout: SSL handshake failed: SSL error: Key usage violation in certificate has been detected.

Use case

Lately I received the following error message, while trying to checkout from a SVN repository located on a Windows server from my Kubuntu machine:

svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: OPTIONS of 'https://HOSTNAME/svn/repo': SSL handshake failed: SSL error: Key usage violation in certificate has been detected. (https://HOSTNAME)

Solution

A short search pointed out, that this issue occures because of an unsigned security certificate.Have a look at this post.

In my case I just needed to install libneon

$ sudo apt-get install libneon27

And then to remove the previous symbolic link by replacing it with a new one pointing to gnutls:

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

This worked for me, even though I had to restart my system surprisely.
