[horde] Problem with "Check for newer versions"

[poubeline at free.fr]

Hi All, 


I am facing the exact same issue but did not trace the certificate issue with tcpdump. 
If someone can help me make this trace with tcpdump to ensure I get the same certificate problem, that will be really appreciated. 
On another hand, if there is already a fix for that, can you provide it to me also ? 


Thanks for your help, 
Laurent

I tried different OpenSSL Versions and cafile-paths, but neither of them did work or made any differences in the behavior. 

I still get the error on "Check for newer versions": "Could not contact server. Try again later." 

Does anyone have an idea how to track down this error? 

TIA,
