Bug Description

Binary package hint: ca-certificates

See http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17842

The lack of DigiCert certificates means that any application that relies on them for authentication (such as the PopCap games) will fail without error. A workaround is to export the certificates from Firefox.

This issue is also causing users of Empathy who are connecting to Facebook Chat to receive a certificate error. See http://askubuntu.com/questions/27752/untrusted-connection-warning-in-empathy for discussion.

So what about Maverick, and other supported versions? There's no real reason why they shouldn't be included.

Marco, I still see this on a fully updated natty; are you sure the fix made it in?

Also, what's the status of this on Maverick and Lucid?

The fix isn't in. I've sent the merge request, but it hasn't been approved yet. In fact I just set this bug as "Fix Committed", not as "Fix Relased". That will be possible just once that the merge proposal has been accepted!

I have NAK'd the merge request (see my review in the merge). This needs to be in Debian first. Once it is there, it can be syncd for Oneiric and backported to natty or farther. Marking back to 'In Progress'.

Digicert certificates are in /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/ in Debian. I don't know enough about Debian to know if these are therefore accessible to all applications or not.

Does anyone have a Debian installation to confirm this one way or the other?

Ken, Ubuntu has had ca-certificates 20090814 since Ubuntu 9.10 and this is the same version that was in Debian until recent non-maintainer-uploads (NMUs): http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/c/ca-certificates/ca-certificates_20090814+nmu3/changelog. I checked the newer Debian versions already and I don't see anything in the changelogs to indicate added DigiCert certificates. Ubuntu has these in /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/ already:
DigiCert_Assured_ID_Root_CA.crt
DigiCert_Global_Root_CA.crt
DigiCert_High_Assurance_EV_Root_CA.crt

What needs to happen is a bug needs to be filed with Debian stating that mozilla now has additional certificates for DigiCert, and which ones are new, and that they should add them. At that point, that bug should be added to this one. When it is fixed in Debian, we can perform a sync into the development release of Ubuntu (Oneiric), and then perform an SRU using https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates.

The DigiCert CA certificates were added in 2008, folks. If you have software that has issues with validating certs for some reason, the issue is likely with that software or the environment the software is being run in.
