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.
