>Description:

When I run "mozilla-rootcerts install" as instructed by "pkg_info -D
mozilla-rootcerts", I get the error message

  ERROR: /etc/openssl/certs already contains certificates, aborting.

Presumably this is because I have already run "mozilla-rootcerts
install" once, back in 2016 judging from the timestamps of the files
in /etc/openssl/certs.  Since these four year old certificates no
longer work and there is no documented way of updating them, I'm
sometimes forced to disable certificate checking, for example when
downloading files over HTTPS using wget.  This is obviously bad
for security.

This issue was discussed on pkgsrc-users in 2018:

  https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2018/04/13/msg026493.html

but apparently never resolved as the discussion was sidetracked into a
bikeshed about whether you should need to run "mozilla-rootcerts
install" in the first place.  Since that's orthogonal to the issue
at hand, please keep that discussion out of this PR.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install the mozilla-rootcerts package and run "mozilla-rootcerts install"
twice.

 What would you like the fix to be? Should it delete existing
 certificates from /etc/openssl/certs and replace them with the ones it
 is installing? Or should there be some kind of "force" option to do
 that?

 I just want there to be a documented procedure that I can follow to
 make "wget https://google.com/" work like it does on other operating
 systems, instead of yielding

   $ wget https://google.com/
   --2020-03-30 12:29:19--  https://google.com/
   Resolving google.com (google.com)... 2a00:1450:400f:80a::200e, 172.217.21.174
   Connecting to google.com (google.com)|2a00:1450:400f:80a::200e|:443... failed: No route to host.

   To connect to google.com insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.

 When it comes to OpenSSL, I'm just an end user, and I have no idea
 whether, for example, "deleting existing certificates from
 /etc/openssl/certs" is the right thing to do.  I just follow the
 instructions, and currently the instructions don't work.
