Comment 49 for bug 1771880

I reported this bug 4 years ago.
I'm a lawyer, and I depend on digital certificates and signatures to do my
job. From 2012 to 2017 I had no problem doing that using Ubuntu/Seahorse.
However, since upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, found no linux distribution
able to import pcks12 certificates anymore. Since then, had been forced to
use Windows (dual boot) just to sign digital files.

I simply cannot understand how Seahorse developers have been ignoring such
critical and serious issue for such a long time. No one can blame the world
to stick with MS Windows and proprietary software.

I still using linux (currently Fedora) but have to spend a huge stake of my
SSD with a Windows 10 instalation because Linux distributions are unable
to deal with pcks12 certificates since 2018.

Sad, very sad. I gave up my hope of seeing this bug fixed. Waiting for 4
years now.

Red Hat corporate customers doesn't need to import pcks12 certificates? It
seems that they don't, unfortunately.
