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

[Tim Cross]

Yes, I tried "NORMAl:VERS-TLS1.2" as well with no luck. 

My GNUTLS version looks to be 3.6.5. This is a Ubuntu 19.04 system (which was released last April) with all updates applied.

This also was working fine until just recently. Also, HTTPS to the melpa repository works fine and using eww to https://elpa.gnu.org/packages works fine.

Oh, what is your value of libgnutls-version?  Perhaps it's not new
enough to recognize the TLS1.3 thing.  Now I'm wondering if the problem
is intermittent, and previous reports of that workaround helping are
just coincidence.

You mean you tried (setq gnutls-algorithm-priority
"NORMAL:-VERS-TLS1.2")?
