Could you try setting the environement variable as specified in my
previous mail, and tell us if you get any debug output:

LIBPRELUDE_DEBUG=10 LIBPRELUDE_TLS_DEBUG=10 prelude-admin [...]

Additionally, attached is a patch that check for GnuTLS initialization
failure within prelude-admin, could you please apply it and tell us
whether you get any error message?
