** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: openssl
  
  Verification fails even if the CAfile contains the CA root certificates chain
  for the site cert.
  
  Steps:
  
  I have a CAfile.pem (all these files attached in testfiles.tgz)
  contains lots of CA root certificates.
  I run the following command
  
  $ openssl verify -CAfile CAfile.pem aol.cert
  aol.cert: /C=US/ST=Virginia/L=Dulles/O=AOL LLC/OU=Portal 
Services/CN=www.aol.com
  error 20 at 0 depth lookup:unable to get local issuer certificate
  
  $ openssl verify -CAfile CAfile.pem akamai.cert
  akamai.cert: OK
  
  Then I append aolca.pem(AOL Member CA) in the end of CAfile.pem, rename it
  to CAfile2.pem
  $ cat CAfile.pem aolca.pem > CAfile2.pem
- - Hide quoted text -
  
  and run the following commands
  
  $ openssl verify -CAfile CAfile2.pem aol.cert
  aol.cert: OK
  
  $ openssl verify -CAfile CAfile2.pem akamai.cert
  akamai.cert: /C=US/O=Akamai Technologies, Inc./CN=a248.e.akamai.net
  error 20 at 0 depth lookup:unable to get local issuer certificate
  
  The verification for aol.cert passes as expected, but failing to verify
  akamai.cert is unexpected.
  
  If I configure/compile openssl with "-d" option, openssl will fail to load the
  CAfile.pem
  
  $ openssl verify -CAfile CAfile.pem akamai.cert

  This issue happens in both 0.9.8j and stock 0.9.8g in Ubuntu 8.10
  If you try to re-produce this on Ubuntu/Debian, be sure to rename 
/usr/lib/ssl/certs/
  since openssl will try to load these CA root certificates as last
  resort.(or try it with strace to make sure openssl is not accessing them)

contains the chain for site.cert
