Summary

NOTE: due to bug #743339, CA certificates added back in this version
won't automatically be trusted again on upgrade. Affected users may
need to reconfigure the package to restore the desired state.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
20200601~deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your ca-certificates packages.

For the detailed security status of ca-certificates please refer to
its security tracker page at:
