Perhaps some of you have to deal with Citrix Receiver for Linux, and are suffering from their latest root certificate breakage.
The rest of you can ignore this post. Portland area hospital systems use differing versions of the proprietary (and $$$$$$$!) EPIC medical record software. They provide external access via Citrix, which brings up a Windoze screen over a web browser. Citrix offers Linux client drivers called Citrix Receiver. My doctor friend has been using the 12.1 version for Linux for some time, but its root certificate expired on January 28. The suggested fix is to upgrade to the 13.0 version, but that turns into dependency hell ... it depends on libwebkitgtk , which is a gnome3 related renaming of libwebkit for everything earlier. So, if you are using a distro that uses gnome2, then the fragile Citrix installer fails. Even after fixing that with --nodeps and symlinks, there is other breakage. As near as I can tell, the 13.0 Linux version wasn't tested and doesn't actually work. The solution is to ignore the advice of the hospital IT staff, and add new certs to the old ones: Root-R1.crt, Root-R2.crt, and Root-R3.crt, available at http://tiny.cc/citcert They go in old 12.1 key directory: /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/ So far, that appears to work, and hopefully, the good doctor will continue to have access to life-saving information.
