As far as I know, ca-roots installs one large .pem file with a gazillion of
certs and installs a softlink.

I know from own experience that these messages do not appear for gmail.com
if I install fetchmail from an up-to-date FreeBSD ports tree under the most
recent 6.2-RELEASE-p4, but I don't know about 5.4.

If there's anything about the default paths in 5.4's libssl different from
6.2, then that might be the problem.
