I was hitting this bug as well so I filed a bug report not knowing that you had already opened this one. Now I can't find my bug (maybe someone deleted it?). Anyway, on a hunch I figured that this had something to do with the NSS package. So I did the following.
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall libnss3:i386 libnss3 Then when I reinstalled the ca-certificates packages with the following command $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall ca-certificates ca-certificates-java The installation succeeds with no exception thrown. So I suspect that some package dependencies are screwed up such that nss was removed during a recent upgrade, even though ca-certificates-java clearly depends on it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/855246 Title: ca-certificates 20110502+nmu1ubuntu3 (and ca-certificates-java 20110912ubuntu2): Exception in thread "main" java.security.ProviderException: Could not initialize NSS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ca-certificates-java/+bug/855246/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
