Hi,

Your package contains a ca-bundle with the certificates from the
mozilla root program.  Could you please switch to those provided
by the ca-certificates package?

Hi,

I'm currently browsing long standing bugs in Debian Med team.  Could you
please clarify what files from r-cran-rcurl you mean and how to replace
them (symlinks to what?)

Sorry for the naive question

    Andreas.

I'm guessing you are not subscribed to this bug and missed Andreas'
question below:

/usr/lib/R/site-library/RCurl/etc/ca-bundle.crt

At least the following files:
/usr/lib/R/site-library/RCurl/CurlSSL/certs
/usr/lib/R/site-library/RCurl/etc/ca-bundle.crt
/usr/lib/R/site-library/RCurl/CurlSSL/certs.pem

Are mostly a duplicate of /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

I'm not sure what the others are used for.
