Can't start electrum - '/etc/ssl/certs/' is a directory

[etam]

I'm using electrum 2.1.1 on openSUSE 13.2 from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:marec2000:cryptocoins/electrum

And this is what happens:

etam@etam-laptop:~> electrum

please use the official packages from electrum.org .

It is the official package, packed nicely into rpm. There are no patches nor any modifications.

Hmm... I've downloaded the official package, unpacked and run from unpacked sources (without installation) and it works. I'll try to gather more info, why the packaged version does not work.

I've found the problem. Reported on openSUSE bugzilla: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=929773
