I've done some further investigations here.

The problem is that the configure script checks for the ca-file (tries some default locations, or uses the given path) *at build time at the build host* und uses the resulting path *at runtime at the target*.
I believe this is an error in the epiphany package itself.

I see two options here (i prefer the 1st):

1. Use the --with-ca-file option but disable the existance check in configure.ac

2. Use --without-ca-file.

Both would obsolete the related patch i suggested for ca-certificates recipe.

Any other options?

BTW: Why does this error comes up in my builds and not in others?
I think the cause are the default locations configure tries. These are /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt and /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt.
I use openSUSE-11.3 as build host which puts its own ca bundle at /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem. May be Fedore or Ubuntu use one of the locations mentioned above.
