Title:
  [precise] Too few certificate authorities listed after upgrade to
  12.04

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “nss” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “evolution” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released
Status in “nss” source package in Precise:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading to precise, when I try to send an email with evolution, I am presented with:
  SSL Certificate check for smtp.canonical.com:

  Issuer:            CN=Thawte DV SSL CA,OU=Domain Validated SSL,O="Thawte, Inc.",C=US
  Subject:           CN=smtp.canonical.com,OU=Domain Validated,OU=Thawte SSL123 certificate,OU=Go to https://www.thawte.com/repository/index.html,O=smtp.canonical.com
  Fingerprint:       a2:ee:86:1c:94:4e:74:86:2c:24:2f:0e:6e:cc:cd:db
  Signature:         BAD

  Do you wish to accept? Yes|No

  I verified the certificate is valid using gnutls:
   * gnutls-cli -s --print-cert --x509cafile /etc/ssl/certs/ -p 587 smtp.canonical.com
   * > ehlo test
   * > starttls
   * in another terminal do 'kill -s SIGALRM <pid og gnutls-cli>'

  Remembering that evolution uses nss, I then went to
  Edit/Preferences/Certificates/Authorities and discovered that many
  certificate autorities are missing from the list, including Thawte's
  Root CAs. I verified that Oneiric had the certificate authority, and
  it did along with many more. I am not sure if the bug is with nss or
  with evolution, but evolution in 12.04 is not seeing all the
  certificates it used to see in 11.10.

  Marking this as High priority and checking the security box as this
  prevents proper certificate verification.
