Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

> What led up to the situation?

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates

and disable "mozilla/DST_Root_CA_X3.crt" (by default I disable the
majority of CAs) then

$ sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

> What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
> ineffective)?

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates

and re-enable "mozilla/DST_Root_CA_X3.crt" to get it working again.

> What was the outcome of this action?

Attempting an install without the DST_Root_CA_X3 enabled led to an
infinite loop in the installer.

Reenabling the (previously-revoked) trust in the CA install proceeded
properly.

> What outcome did you expect instead?

If the curl/wget command fails because the root CA is not trusted, it
should abort/fail the install, preferrably with a message about the CA
chain-of-trust it was expecting, and a suggestion to "dpkg-reconfigure
ca-certificates" (or export $CURL_CA_BUNDLE to an appropriate value
for the process or whatever the analog would be for `wget`).

But certainly not an infinite loop.

Thanks,

-Tim
