Bug#445906: boinc-client: SSL fails with ca-bundle.crt linked to ca-certificates

[Greg Norris]

Package: boinc-client
Version: 5.10.8-2
Severity: normal

With the supplied ~boinc/ca-bundle.crt, which is a symlink to
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt, boinc-client is unable to
communicate with the World Community Grid project (which requires SSL).
The logfile shows the following error messages:

   2007-10-05 20:21:45 [World Community Grid] Sending scheduler request: Requested by user
   2007-10-05 20:21:45 [World Community Grid] (not requesting new work or reporting completed tasks)
   2007-10-05 20:21:50 [World Community Grid] Scheduler request failed: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates
   2007-10-05 20:21:50 [World Community Grid] Deferring communication for 1 min 0 sec
   2007-10-05 20:21:50 [World Community Grid] Reason: scheduler request failed

After replacing the symlink with ca-bundle.crt from upstream, everything
works as expected.
