           Summary: Too cryptic certificate error messages
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: karaluh at karaluh.pl
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kaddressbook

I have google contacts resource configured. Today for no apparent reason
certificate error appeared saying, that:

Serwer nie przeszedł testu uwierzytelnienia (www.google.com).

Nieprawidłowy certyfikat autoryzujący ten certyfikat
Główny certyfikat autoryzujący nie jest zaufany do tego celu

Which translates to:
Server didn't pass authentication test
Incorrect certificate that authorizes this certificate
Main authorizing certificate is not trusted to this purpose

Which tells nothing to somebody who is not an expert in the field of electronic
certificates. I'm able to  see more details, which only makes the matter worse.

The error message should clearly state with simple words what exactly is wrong,
and what are the dangers of continuing to use the resource.

Reproducible: Always
