Details

Description:
'ca-certificates-utils' package provides 'ca-certificates', so this allows you to simply uninstall the original 'ca-certificates' package without breaking any dependencies and any pacman warnings. It drags 'ca-certificates-mozilla' with it and leads to system breakage, e.g. curl became broken => pacman doesn't work.

Additional info:
* package version(s): 20210603-1

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -Rs ca-certificates

This is deliberate. We install ca-certificates by default so you get our default cert set. If you, for some reason, want to manage your own system certs you can uninstall ca-certificates without breaking any dependencies.
