Upstream's ca-bundle.crt comes from the cURL sources. It is the same file that 
curl_7.17.0.orig.tar.gz contains as curl-7.17.0/lib/ca-bundle.crt, however it 
is not shipped in any cURL .deb package.

WCG's issuer certificate has the common name "Entrust.net Secure Server 
Certification Authority" and both files, curl-7.17.0/lib/ca-bundle.crt 
and /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt, contain this certificate bas64 
encoded. cURL's ca-bundle.crt additionally contains this certificate in clear 
text. Could this be the problem? I need to investigate further.

Grüße,
Frank
