Bug#225487: apache-ssl: Postinstall fails with a "sed" error
reassign 225487 ssl-cert
stop
quit
Hi Douglas,
I am just going trough the bug again and i noticed that there is
stuff missing from the information required to generate the certificate
like Locality Name.
All the fields are required to generate the certificate. Can you kindly
try again removing /etc/apache-ssl/apache.pem, create a certificate with
all the fields filled up?
This would explain the error you get that some strings are empty and the
minimum size is 1. In any case i am reassining the bug to ssl-cert
regarding the sed stuff.
Thanks
Fabio
