Hi
See also:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/ca-certificates/+bug/854927
ca-certificates.postinst runs:
# Call c_rehash when upgrading from older versions to that we
# have both the old and new style of symlink
if [ ! -z "$2" ]; then
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" le 20090814+nmu3; then
c_rehash
fi
fi
but a plain c_rehash call is wrong because at this point there might be
a /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt file with all certificates that
c_rehash picks up and links to. Instead, this file should be removed,
then c_rehash should be called after clearing all other symlinks, then
ca-certificates.crt should be regenerated. update-ca-certificates
--fresh is meant to do that, but didn't move
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt away.
The attached patch moves /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt away
(credit to Steve Langasek for fixing this), and removes the c_rehash
upgrade snippet in favor.
NB: The patch needs to be updated with this bug number and the uploaded
version (see XXXs in patch).
Cheers,
