I tried this suggestion before Stefan's one because it seemed easier.

As results, it does not work for me:

Lynx comes out with the same, old error "SSL error:issuer is not a CA-Continue?"

Additionally, the command line

$ sudo dpkg -i ca-bundle_20090709_all.deb

erased completely and then re-created the whole content of the certificates 
directory /etc/ssl/certs/ which now looks completely different than before.



Then, since libcrypto.so seeks the certificates in /usr/local/ssl/certs, I 
created the link /usr/local/ssl => /etc/ssl and I tried the clarification of 
Stef.at.caunter.ca:
>Yes, that's OpenSSL - you need to put the certs in that directory and ...

I manually created the shell variable SSL_CERT_DIR=/usr/local/ssl/certs and 
shell variable the SSL_CERT_FILE=/usr/local/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt. This 
file consists of the certificates resulting from
ssl.certs.shar that I concatenated together.

Here Lynx comes out with the error "SSL error:no issuer was found-Continue?"


Earlier today I also extracted the certificates from Firefox and concatenated 
them into a ca-certificates.crt. While with Firefox I can login to Etrade, Lynx 
still comes out with the error  "SSL error:issuer is not a CA-Continue?".

I've Lynx Version 2.8.7dev.9 and OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007.

Any further suggestion/hint is welcome.
