That one is easy: It should either be "aptitude install ca-certificates"
or "dpkg --install ca-certificates_20061027_all.deb".

The post-installation script is here:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/ca-certificates.postinst
You can try to add
set -x
at the beginning of this script, right after the comment header. Then
run "dpkg --configure ca-certificates" and the post-installation script
will echo every command as it is executed. That might tell you where
things go wrong. It could be that the script uses a bashism which will
cause problems if you have your /bin/sh symlink pointing to another
shell.
