[Bug 717923] [NEW] Can't connect to jabber servers using CACert although ca-certificates is installed

[Muelli]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

I can't connect to jabber.ccc.de because "the certificate is
cryptographically weak" or has a "weak cypher" (sic!)

I do have the ca-certificates package installed and thus expected to be
able to connect to a site that uses ca-cert.

Apparently, empathy doesn't integrate well with that package.
