You're right, I thought that the script use a temporary db to create the final database, but it's only to connect with sslget.

I did some tests: The error occurs when I use a CA managed by EJBCA, if I use a CA generated by openssl or nss everything works properly.

The problem is that i can't reproduce the bug in an external nss db... but maybe I don't follow the same steps that uses the installation script.
