Public bug reported:
I changed the CA directory to a different path in openssl.cnf:
[ CA_default ]
dir = ./something_different
CA.pl -newca will not work succeed.
jan@x61s:~$ /usr/lib/ssl/misc/CA.pl -newca
CA certificate filename (or enter to create)
Making CA certificate ...
Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key
...................+++

writing new private key to './demoCA/private/cakey.pem'
The key gets written to ./demoCA instead of ./something_different. CA.pl
ignores setting in openssl.cnf until it changes its mind later in the
process:
