I ran an update today (Debian 12/bookworm) and there were two things that needed updateding: ca-certificates and libfile-find-rule-perl
No biggie; ran it and got this "error" ...

Preparing to unpack .../ca-certificates_20230311+deb12u1_all.deb ...
Unpacking ca-certificates (20230311+deb12u1) over (20230311) ...
Setting up ca-certificates (20230311+deb12u1) ...
Updating certificates in /etc/ssl/certs...
rehash: warning: skipping ca-certificates.crt,it does not contain exactly one certificate or CRL

I looked up the rehash warning and read "This warning indicates that the ca-certificates.crt file is not formatted correctly, as it should contain exactly one certificate or Certificate Revocation List (CRL)."

Should I be worried?
 


Should I be worried?
No because it's a warning and because ca-certificates is a bundle of root certificates so it does't matter that it's more than one certificate in that file because it's supposed to be that way.
