Package: ca-certificates
Version: 20080809
Severity: minor
In https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234816 I encountered problems
with openldap, caused by broken symlinks in /etc/ssl/certs. Gentoo also
uses update-ca-certificates to manage that directory. That script calls
c_rehash, which would have reported the issue, but all output from
c_rehash is redirected to /dev/null, including all error messages.
I suggest showing the error messages, so that admins are more likely to
notice possible problems with their certificates. I already submitted a
patch for this as https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=162959 for
Gentoo, but as the issue probably affects all users of ca-certificates,
I think you might want to address it at the source.
