Oops. Flying fingers. :-)
Given that curl has ca-certs as a recommended dependency, we now have a
circular dependency.
Does this mean that curl needs to be built twice? or is the ca-certs really
a post dependency?
Actually, it's only a runtime dependency, but I forgot to add that.
Both are fixed at next render.
Thanks Wayne.

As far as I understand, Perl LWP is required for make-ca-bundle.pl, which is
included in curl package, but otherwise, make-ca-bundle.pl and Perl LWP are
not needed for curl. Strictly speaking, Perl LWP is therefore a dependency of
curl, but is not used by curl...
I would say that mixture between CA-certificates retrieval and curl library is
all but KISS.
So why not separate things:
- on CA-certificates page: put the curl tarball as additional download for
CA-certificates, give instruction to install make-ca-bundle.pl from that
package, and mention the Perl LWP dep.
- on the curl page: remove the make-ca-bundle.pl installation (but keep the
cacerts as recommended at runtime).
Thoughts?

PS : I do not really like the idea of having Perl LWP as a dep for cacerts.
Isn't it possible to modify the script to only use standard perl modules (or
script in another language)?
Or we could do like we did before and pull the data to anduin and have
users get that.
