Web browsers requiring ca-certificates
« on: September 20, 2016, 07:01:05 PM »
Spent some time in a minimal boot environment playing with browsers. Could the following please have  ca-certificates  added as a dependency. Not sure why Debian doesn't do this as default, without this dependency most browsers are almost unusable.

netsurf-gtk
surf
lynx
qupzilla
links2
midori (reportedly added earlier but does not show on re-import)

Please let me know when posted, will re-import and retest. Thanks.

The arora browser would also benefit from ca-certificates, thanks.

Ok, done.  I also added it to firefox as in dCore-xenial it does not work in a minimal environment without it, will not accept keyboard input into the search field. 

I added ca-certificates as a dep to the following packages, hopefully covers the webkit based browsers:
libwebkitgtk-1.0-0
libwebkitgtk-3.0-0
libwebkitqt4

Appears ca-certificates was applied to all required except  arora  which uses  libqt5webkit5  , thanks.

Misspelling on my part of libqt5webkit5, as it is a change in format from libqtwebkit4.  Should be good now.

OK, last one is otter-browser but it's PPA only, not sure if you can attach the dependency or should i just add wiki note?
