Bug#384595: make-ssl-cert fails when $HOME not set
Package: ssl-cert
Version: 1.0.13
Severity: minor
As the default openssl config specifies the use of $HOME, when this is
not set the openssl call within make-ssl-cert fails.
In the template "/usr/share/ssl-cert/ssleay.cnf" $HOME is used to set
RANDFILE, but this is also set by make-ssl-cert before the openssl call,
so perhaps the line in the template can simply be removed.
Otherwise perhaps HOME=/tmp could be added to the template before
the RANDFILE line as a fallback.
