Failed to execute certutil

Describe the bug

Hi, running vite throws following error. I'm not sure if this is a local issue or related to the mkcert plugin.

As a workaround I renamed /etc/pki/nssdb, run vite and generate the certificates, revert folder renaming.

Did you experience this issue and got a better solution?

Thanks!

I'm running into the same issue on Ubuntu.

The local CA is already installed in the system trust store! 👍
ERROR: failed to execute "certutil -A -d sql:/etc/pki/nssdb": exit status 255

certutil: function failed: SEC_ERROR_BAD_DATABASE: security library: bad database.

node: 18.16.0 npm: 9.6.7 vite: 4.3.6 vite-plugin-mkcert: 1.15.0

When i try to manually run mkcert -install I get this error:

Created a new local CA 💥
The local CA is now installed in the system trust store! ⚡️
ERROR: failed to execute "certutil -A -d sql:/etc/pki/nssdb": exit status 255

certutil: function failed: SEC_ERROR_BAD_DATABASE: security library: bad database.

So it seems like an issue with mkcert itself.
