21 No, it's not, it's FETCHCOMMAND/wget thing. Would like to hear about
22 alternatives besides those discussed ad nauseam in Bug 101457.

24 Realplayer does *not* depend on ca-certificates in ANY way, it's
25 FETCHCOMMAND that's broken w/ unknown CA and self-signed certificates. Since
26 not honoring self-signed certificates by default can be hardly considered as
27 a bug, hence the depenency on ca-certificates in wget.
