[gentoo-user] openssl WARNING: Skipping duplicate file cert_igca_rsa.pem

[gentoo-user] openssl WARNING: Skipping duplicate file cert_igca_rsa.pem

[Grant]

I just noticed this at the end of my openssl emerge:

* Running 'c_rehash /etc/ssl/certs/' to rebuild hashes #333069 ...
WARNING: Skipping duplicate file cert_igca_rsa.pem [ ok ]
>>> dev-libs/openssl-1.0.0e merged.

Since SSL is so critical I thought I should run it by you guys.  Is
this something I should fix?  I get:

# updatedb && locate cert_igca_rsa.pem
/old-backup-dir/etc/ssl/certs/cert_igca_rsa.pem
/etc/ssl/certs/cert_igca_rsa.pem

I notice I have these two symlinks in /etc/ssl/certs:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      9 Sep  7 05:23 3ee7e181.0 -> IGC_A.pem
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     17 Sep  7 05:23 3ee7e181.1 -> cert_igca_dsa.pem

After a bit of poking around I see that the ca-certificates package
installs one cert under two different names:

/usr/share/ca-certificates/gouv.fr/cert_igca_rsa.crt
/usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/IGC_A.crt

I don't know where the 3ee7e181 symlinks get their names, but I notice
that the duplicate cert is actually the cert_igca_rsa.crt, not the dsa
cert.  That's a bit confusing, but at least it led me to the answer.

Nice sleuthing!  I can't say I completely understand, but everything
is OK as-is?

I don't see how it could be exploited -- but that's not much comfort
for either of us ;)
