[Bug 1007533] [NEW] euca2ools in precise (probably also quanta) breaks openssl when installed first

[Stéphane Graber]

Public bug reported:

euca2ools is shipping a symlink to an ec2 certificate, it's trying to put it in /etc/ssl/certs using a debian/links file entry.
There are currently two problems with that:
1) The target is set to /etc/ssl/certs and not /etc/ssl/certs/cert-ec2.pem, making the package create a "/etc/ssl/certs" symlink when openssl isn't installed, which is completely wrong, doesn't work and breaks openssl
2) Even if dh_link was doing the right thing, nothing actually creates /etc/ssl/certs, so package build would fail.

This bug needs to be fixed in quantal and SRUed to precise.

[rational]
Installating euca2ools before openssl, will prevent any subsequent openssl installation and will fail to setup the ec2 certificate.
This currently prevents lxc from installing and likely breaks quite a few other scenarios.

[test case]
1) apt-get install euca2ools
2) apt-get install openssl

If 2) doesn't fail and /etc/ssl/certs is a directory and /etc/ssl/certs
/cert-ec2.pem is a symlink, then the package now works properly.

[regression potential]
I can't see any potential regression as the current state is a broken ssl certs directory on the system and a missing ec2 certificate.
