Not really. I just consolidated some code paths so now we actually check
that gnutls is present for disks with secret. It would hit the error in
a different place otherwise, this just broke the testsuite.

A naive fix would be to disable those tests when gnutls is not present,
but if we are going to make it always present it seems a waste of
effort.
