[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#699103: Empathy fails to connect to SIP proxy over TLS

[Derek LaHousse]

Workaround:  It appears that telepathy-rakia is looking for its list of
root CAs at ~/.sip/auth or the file ~/.sip/auth/cafile.pem.  I have
created ~/.sip and symlinked ~/.sip/auth to /etc/ssl/certs.  In a test
set of "once", it worked without selecting "ignore TLS errors".

It looks like that path comes from sofia-sip.
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/ron/sofia-sip.git;a=blob;f=libsofia-sip-ua/tport/tport_type_tls.c

Would it be wrong to change sofia-sip, in debian at least, to use the
system-ca-certificates?  I do not know where to post this information on
a wiki, for visibility for others with this issue.
