RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Summary: perl-Crypt-SSLeay: stop shipping own certificate bundle

Whiteboard:
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 As a consequence, the content provided by the /usr/share/doc/perl-Crypt-SSLeay-0.57/ca-bundle.crt file became out of date.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 As a result, the perl-Crypt-SSLeay documentation does not contain a bundle of CA certificates that is out of date and could confuse the user.

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.
