I have just installed a new machine as ~amd64. I wonder why I get this after running update: * Messages for package app-misc/ca-certificates-20090709: * Broken symlink for a certificate at /etc/ssl/certs/class3.pem * Broken symlink for a certificate at /etc/ssl/certs/root.pem * Broken symlink for a certificate at /etc/ssl/certs/UTN_USERFirst_Object_Root_CA.pem * Broken symlink for a certificate at /etc/ssl/certs/QuoVadis_Root_Certification_Authority.pem * You MUST remove the above broken symlinks * Otherwise any SSL validation that use the directory may fail! * To batch-remove them, run: * find -L /etc/ssl/certs/ -type l -exec rm {} + # equery belongs class3.pem * Searching for class3.pem ... #
You're on crack. ca-certificates is NOT installing broken symlinks, it's detecting any that are broken and already present on your system from some time in the past. They were never owned by any package.
