Since the creation of /etc/pki and therefore removal of /usr/share/ssl, curl has broken and no longer works without extra flags. This is because it is looking in /usr/share/ssl etc When curl is invoked: Logging in... curl: (60) error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt CApath: none More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle" of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). The default bundle is named curl-ca-bundle.crt; you can specify an alternate file using the --cacert option. If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might not match the domain name in the URL). If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use the -k (or --insecure) option.
Thank you for your notice. This problem is fixed in curl-7.13.1-2. (Thanks Joe Orton.) Ivana Varekova
