7 The ca-certificates ebuild will remove any root certificates or hash symlinks,
8 which are no longer trusted from your /etc/ssl/certs/ directory. I recall in
9 the past I had to tidy up manually, but these days I don't need to.

17 You can have a look in /etc/ssl/certs/ which contains the default OS Root CA
18 certificates and see if there are any broken symlinks.
19
20 You can also run a manual update, if it's been a long time since you updated
21 this package, or put it in a cron job:
22
23 # /usr/sbin/update-ca-certificates --verbose
