Bug#595279: ca-certificates: Locally installed certificate files with .pem extension are ignored
Philipp Kern pk...@debian.org writes: It's also a terrible inflation of severities. .crt is clearly documented in README.Debian, so it's hardly important. My first inclination was normal priority, but I opted for important in part because it's so simple but mostly because documentation (this package's and the internet in general) refers constantly to 'pem files', so much so that the crt and pem extensions are virtually indistinguishable. Anyway the bug's reported, and that's the main thing. If it manages to get into squeeze then all well and good. Either way you may want to upgrade the manpage in addition to the README.Debian: Current: /usr/share/ca-certificates Directory of CA certificates. /usr/local/share/ca-certificates Directory of local CA certificates. (Yes, with the funny formatting. I don't know if that's just a locale thing on my system.) To: /usr/share/ca-certificates Directory of CA certificates. /usr/local/share/ca-certificates Directory of local CA certificates (with .crt extension).

Bug#595279: ca-certificates: Locally installed certificate files with .pem extension are ignored
Package: ca-certificates Version: 20090814 Severity: important Tags: patch Files in /usr/local/share/ca-certificates must be named with the extension '.crt' or they will be ignored. The extension '.pem' is often used in documentation, examples, etc. and not being able to name local certificates with it is likely to cause confusion (it did me :). Tagged 'important' because .pem is so common, despite it being trivially easy to work around. Also because the patch is similarly trivial: Append -o -name '*.pem' to the find command on line 124 Matthew -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ca-certificates depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.33 Debian configuration management sy ii openssl 0.9.8o-1 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a ca-certificates recommends no packages. ca-certificates suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
