+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #170740 +++ Description of problem: ca-bundle.pem is not listed as a configuration file, causing it to be replaced during upgrades of the openssl package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.7a-33.17 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. customize /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.pem 2. install new version of openssl Actual results: ca-bundle.pem is replaced Expected results: ca-bundle.pem should be untouched during an upgrade Additional info: This is the same bug as 158568 reported for Fedora Core 3 -- Additional comment from tmraz on 2005-10-14 07:40 EST -- We will consider fixing this bug in future if the openssl packages are updated for other reasons (security or critical bug fixes). -- Additional comment from tmraz on 2005-10-14 07:41 EST -- Note to myself: Applies to RHEL4 as well. -- Additional comment from slawomir on 2005-10-14 08:35 EST -- This bug causes severe problems if the server is using TLS with LDAP and a certificate signed by a locally created certification authority. After ca-bundle.crt gets overwritten all the services which use LDAP stop working because server can't validate the certificate used by TLS. On one of the servers even logging in as root or local user wasn't working. -- Additional comment from tmraz on 2005-10-14 09:59 EST -- I agree that this bug is serious but I see no point in updating the package just for this bug. It's just necessary to fix the bug if an updated package is released again (for other reasons). -- Additional comment from slawomir on 2005-10-14 10:25 EST -- Is it possible to issue a release note or some warning so other people don't get affected by this bug? We've spent about 20 hrs here before we've found the reason for the outage of our servers.
