Fixed In Version:	perl-Crypt-SSLeay-0.57-17.el6	Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	The perl-Crypt-SSLeay packages included their own certification authority's (CA) certificates bundle. As a consequence, the content provided by the /usr/share/doc/perl-Crypt-SSLeay-0.57/ca-bundle.crt file became out of date. With this update, /usr/share/doc/perl-Crypt-SSLeay-0.57/ca-bundle.crt has been replaced with a symbolic link to the /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt file, which is a system-wide storage file for trusted CA certificates. As a result, the perl-Crypt-SSLeay documentation does not contain a bundle of CA certificates that is out of date and could confuse the user.	Story Points:	---

Description Petr Pisar 2014-01-31 08:49:03 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #734385 +++

Description of problem:
perl-Crypt-SSLeay ships own ca-bundle.crt file in the /usr/share/doc/perl-Crypt-SSLeay-<version>.  According to the "Last Modified" date in the file, it has not been updated since 2000.  It's docs only, but as it's getting quite venerable (lot of certs are expired, other needed today are most likely missing), it should be removed or replaced with a symlink to ca-certificate's one if it's really needed.

--- Additional comment from Petr Šabata on 2011-08-30 11:46:30 GMT ---

I'd like to replace it with a symlink to /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt, as you've suggested...  unless somebody has a better idea.

--- Additional comment from Tomas Hoger on 2011-08-30 12:02:57 GMT ---

Do you actually expect it to be used anywhere?  I suspect it can only get used if someone copies it from /usr/share/doc, but never directly (given the changing directory name).  Hence there should be low regression risk if the file is removed completely.

--- Additional comment from Petr Šabata on 2011-08-30 12:14:04 GMT ---

The file is mentioned in the documentation and could be used with the example tools (%doc eg/).  I'd rather keep it.

--- Additional comment from Tomas Hoger on 2011-08-30 12:36:27 GMT ---

As far as I can see, all references to ca-bundle.crt within the package are of the form certs/ca-bundle.crt, so they can not refer to the file in the doc directory directly.

--- Additional comment from Petr Šabata on 2011-08-30 12:59:50 GMT ---

Yes but that's just where we put the 'certs' directory.  It's better than nothing, imo.

--- Additional comment from Petr Šabata on 2011-09-07 12:35:02 GMT ---

perl-Crypt-SSLeay-0.58-7.fc17 ca-bundle.crt now points to ca-certificates ca-bundle.crt ...

------
RHEL-6 (perl-Crypt-SSLeay-0.57-16.el6) is affected too.
