-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I think I stumbled on something related to this issue. I was having the same problem described here. Running a strace on the wget process showed an almost endless series of certificate examinations. Whatever it is doing seemed to take longer than a timeout in the http connection which resulted in a retry, which in turn restarted the connection and the certificate examinations again. If I left the wget process running for a few minutes, it usually ended in a segfault when libc tried to get the length of a null string.
What I stumbled on was if I purged the ca-certificates package and immediately reinstalled it, the wget completed normally. dpkg --force-all purge ca-certificates apt-get install ca-certificates strace wget -d --no-check-certificate -O cyrus-sasl-2.1.22.zip \ https://developer.pidgin.im/static/win32/cyrus-sasl-2.1.22.zip However, if I ran c_rehash as I typically do to create the symbolic links to files by hash values, the problem returned. When I looked into it, the c_rehash function seemed to point almost all symbolic hash value links to ca-certificates.crt while the default installation pointed the links to the individual pem files. I don't know if this bug should be moved to openssl or not. Can someone more familiar with the bug process verify this and weigh in? Tony - -- Anthony L.
