/etc/ssl/certs empty symlinks

Well, this is weird… (Ubuntu 10.04 system):

root@kat:/etc/ssl/certs# find . -maxdepth 1 -type l -name '*.pem' -lname ''
./DigiCert_High_Assurance_EV_Root_CA.pem
./GlobalSign_Root_CA_-_R2.pem
./AddTrust_Public_Services_Root.pem
...snip...

“fix”:

root@kat:/etc/ssl/certs# find . -maxdepth 1 -type l -name '*.pem'
-lname '' -exec rm '{}' ';'

then rerun update-ca-certificates.
