System: NetBSD www3.kiess.onl 9.1 NetBSD 9.1 (GENERIC) #0: Sun Oct 18 19:24:30 UTC 2020 mkrepro%mkrepro.NetBSD.org@localhost:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
  The Profanity XMPP/Jabber clients SSL/TLS ca certpath for the ca certs is set to /etc/ssl as default. It should point to /etc/openssl/certs, as mozilla-rootcerts{-openssl} installs the ca rootcerts to /etc/openssl/certs. One has to set the ca certpath manually with the command /tls certpath set /etc/openssl/certs inside Profinaty, to make TLS secure connections possible. 

	Without this modification, Profanity aborts the TLS connection with: "Cannot get local issuer".

	For a better user experience, please set a reasonable default ca certpath for Profanity for the default installtion. I also tested on FreeBSD where the default installation works without this modification.

	I tested with Profanity profanity-0.9.5nb2 on NetBSD 9.1/amd64 from the pkgsrc-2020Q4 binaries.

	Thank you for your kind attention.

	Adrian Kiess
>How-To-Repeat:
 Install Profanity from the current pkgsrc quarterly binaries and try to connect with TLS encryption to a XMPP/Jabber server without making modifications to the default configuration. It aborts the connection with: "Cannot get local issuer"
>Fix:
  /tls certpath set /etc/openssl/certs inside the Profanity client
