Dear Maintainer,

Consider the following sequence of commands:

    % make-cadir foo
    % cd foo
    % ./easyrsa init-pki
    % ./easyrsa build-ca

In a fresh bullseye chroot (3.0.8-1), that sequence succeeds:

    CA creation complete and you may now import and sign cert requests.
    Your new CA certificate file for publishing is at:
    …/pki/ca.crt

In a sid chroot from today (3.1.0-0.1), that sequence fails with:

    # ./easyrsa build-ca
    Found: …/pki/vars
    Found: …/vars

    Easy-RSA error:

    Conflicting 'vars' files found.

    Priority should be given to your PKI vars file:
    * /root/sid/pki/vars

I don't use easy-rsa, but this seems like a regression.

HTH,

Daniel

P.S. The changelog of this version includes the item "autopkgtests: Remove
conflicting vars file", which may be related.

Thanks; metadata adjusted.

I assume this ticket will be closed by the next upload to the easy-rsa package, as per usual.

Thanks for your work!
