openssl is required for cacerts. Why do you add it here?

Because we use --with-ssl=openssl in configure.


Yeah, as minor as it is, you should probably undo that one. OpenSSL is
required for cacerts, and that satisfies the dependency chain.

There is a potential circular dependency there. How do you get the required packages in the cert page? I suppose you can use a browser, but if you are early in the build phase, you don't have a browser yet.

Sure, there are other ways, but I don't see a problem with having the recommended dependency there. If a user decides not to install the certs, then openssl is needed to satisfy the instructions.
