Package: ca-certificates
Version: 20190110
Severity: normal
The i3 continuous integration testing on travis-ci.org currently fails:
Setting up ca-certificates (20190110) ...
Updating certificates in /etc/ssl/certs...
mv: cannot move '/tmp/ca-certificates.crt.tmp.hi8W7j' to a subdirectory of
itself, 'ca-certificates.crt'
dpkg: error processing package ca-certificates (--configure):
installed ca-certificates package post-installation script subprocess returned
error exit status 1
See https://travis-ci.org/i3/i3/jobs/503115864 for the full log.
Have not dug any deeper, but perhaps this rings a bell, or is obvious from the
error message. Let me know if you need more details.
Thanks,

So I debugged this some more, and found out that the problem is that moving
*any files* from /tmp to /etc does not work, but only within the Docker
container running on travis-ci, and only when configured with “group:
deprecated-2017Q3”. The fix is to remove that config option:
https://github.com/i3/i3/pull/3650.
I will write this off to kernel weirdness, but, independently of this
issue, it might make sense to change update-ca-certificates to no longer
need /tmp and instead create the temporary files within /etc, which would
get us closer to an atomic replacement.
