I was having the same problem when trying to install ssl-cert via a script post-preseed:
chgrp: cannot access `/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access `/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key': No such file or directory The cause seems to be $HOME not being defined. The postinst calls make- ssl-cert, which uses the template file /usr/share/ssl-cert/ssleay.cnf as an argument to openssl -req. ssleay.cnf contains: RANDFILE = $ENV::HOME/.rnd which naturally breaks when $HOME isn't present. Ideally make-ssl-cert should either check for $HOME, or perhaps check for errors on the openssl command rather than sending to /dev/null ? -- ssl-cert (1.0.11.0ubuntu1) postinst is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43987 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
