Hi Michael,

you can try to run by hand the
 /etc/postinstall/ca-certificates.sh

and after manually rename it as

  /etc/postinstall/ca-certificates.sh.done

so that will not be tried any longer

likely as it was already completed and you have it as already renamed "*.done"

$ ls /etc/postinstall/openssl.sh*
/etc/postinstall/openssl.sh.done
