No, AFAIK this CA file (which expects to be a bundle of root CA certificates) is also used by SYMPA to redistribute S/MIME encrypted messages sent by subscribers[1]. I still don't understand why I should install a Recommend which is needed to get a basic setup working. The funny thing is that SYMPA depends on perl-suid and libfcgi-perl which should probably be ‘Recommends’. As a SYMPA maintainer, it's a bit sad that I can't fix something I consider to be a bug. Jonas, I don't want to fight with you about this. It seems that I can't convince you. I prefer to focus on the other bugs to fix. M.
