This looks like you were trying to link against a version of gnutls
which was built against libtasn1 2.x but did not install libtasn
2.x.

libtasn 3.x and 2.x are not binary compatible (which is why the soname
was changed), depending software including gnutls needs to be rebuilt
to use the newer tasn version.
