Description Shmerl 2019-01-30 00:45:04 UTC

Currently, Kmail while using libnss creates $HOME/.pki/nssdb directory. Libnss now supports XDG base directory spec. Clients which use it though need to explicitly enable that. 

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=818686#c15

Please do it in Kmail to avoid cluttering $HOME.

Sorry it's not a kmail problem...
We don't generate it.

Perhaps gpgme...

Comment 2 Shmerl 2019-01-30 07:30:22 UTC

I'll try to narrow it down to some dependency, but it's certainly being created when Kmail starts.

Comment 3 Shmerl 2019-01-30 07:43:57 UTC

lsof also shows, that kmail holds these files in $HOME/.pki/nssdb open while running: cert9.db key4.db

Comment 4 Laurent Montel 2019-01-30 08:23:50 UTC

For sure we don't create it in kmail.
But perhaps in its dependancies.

Comment 5 Shmerl 2023-06-14 05:24:45 UTC

I think I found the culprit:

apt depends kmail | rg libqt5webengine
  Depends: libqt5webenginecore5 (>= 5.15.2~)
  
apt depends libqt5webenginecore5 | rg libnss
  Depends: libnss3 (>= 2:3.22)

I can look into Qt Web Engine and how it uses libnss and file a bug there.

Comment 6 Shmerl 2023-06-14 05:34:24 UTC

Hmm, since Qt Web Engine seems to be using Chromium, this might be the upstream bug:
