Package: ca-certificates
Version: 20141019
Severity: normal

Hi,

for a while now, I had failures when trying to access
https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/ via curl/libcurl, specifically when
trying to use the VMware Player update functionality.

Digging a bit deeper, I found that https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/
uses the GTE_CyberTrust_Global_Root.crt certificate, and apparently that
certificate was disabled, as "dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates" showed.

After re-enabling that CA the problem was gone.

Since I never explicitly disabled that CA, I assume something went wrong
in the package itself, since a fresh installation does enable that CA.

Maybe this is related to the changes in 20140223, where this certificate
was disabled, and the subsequent upload 20140325 not properly
re-enabling it?


Cheers,
Michael
