Colin, I was able to manually reproduce the bug by running: sudo sh -c "unset HOME ; /usr/share/debconf/frontend sh -ex /usr/sbin/make-ssl-cert generate-default-snakeoil --force-overwrite"
If you remove the redirection of stderr to /dev/null from the openssl invocation in make-ssl-cert, you'll see openssl's cryptic failure message where it complains about the variable not having a value: error on line 5 of /tmp/tmp.JOuWS24408 24410:error:0E065068:configuration file routines:STR_COPY:variable has no value:conf_def.c:629:line 5 Hope this helps. -- make-ssl-cert fails if HOME is unset or empty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250400 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
