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.

Description Pavel Moravec 2015-12-29 08:59:00 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1294606 +++

Description of problem:
Having sql database with a certificate that has modified a trust attribute and trying to merge this db with another one, it fails with error:

certutil: Could not merge object unnamed (type Trust): Unknown code ___P 3


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nss-tools-3.19.1-3.el6_6.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
rm -rf db1 db2
mkdir db1
echo 123456 > db1/pwdfile
certutil -N -d sql:./db1 -f ./db1/pwdfile
certutil -A -d sql:./db1 -i test.crt -n test -t P,, -f ./db1/pwdfile
certutil -M -d sql:./db1 -n test -t T,, -f ./db1/pwdfile

mkdir db2
echo 123456 > db2/pwdfile
certutil -N -d sql:./db2 -f ./db2/pwdfile

certutil --merge -d sql:./db2  --source-dir sql:./db1 -f ./db2/pwdfile -@ ./db1/pwdfile


Actual results:
certutil --merge fails with:
certutil: Could not merge object unnamed (type Trust): Unknown code ___P 3


Expected results:
certutil --merge works well


Additional info:
commenting out "certutil -M" or replacing it by deletion and re-creating test's certificate prevents this bug. I.e. the problem originates in certutil modifying the trust attributes. Therefore either:
- this "-M" operation is the buggy one, 
- or at least it leaves the sql database in such (valid) state that --merge operation cant cope with
