Fix: Adobe AIR Apps Crash After Upgrading to Fedora 12

adobe_airAfter upgrading your system to Fedora 12, you may notice that some of your Adobe AIR applications no longer load properly.  The problem may persist even after you have reinstalled both Adobe AIR and the individual Adobe AIR applications.

An error you may receive when installing the AIR applications is shown below:

Application crashed with an unhandled SIGSEGV

The above problem is caused by an invalid certificate file.  Simply deleting the certificate file as shown below will cause your Adobe AIR applications to begin working again.

Run the following command from terminal to fix the problem:

sudo rm -rf /etc/opt/Adobe/certificates/crypt/

    After playing with aucm, I noticed that adding new certs added the <UserPreferences> tags when adding a new cert. The config.xml from the adobe-certs package did not have this tag. I added it to each certificate object in config.xml, for example:

    <certificate trustAnchor="true" trusted="true" sslServerAuth="true" codeSign="true" >
    <UserPreferences/>
    <LastUpdatedBy trustAnchor="adobe" codeSign="adobe" sslServerAuth="adobe" trusted="adobe"/>
    <subjectHash>2afc57aa.0</subjectHash>
    <publicKeyHash>46tUTICh21ZDt5FKy/OCehNcCKt=</publicKeyHash>
    </certificate>

    That fixed all the SIGSEGV dumps. (And keeps you from getting all the unknown/unverified cert messages during application installation you get when you just rename the crypt directory.)
