NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID in chromium

So I updated a bunch of packages (most notably tor and privoxy, and any of their dependencies) and now I receive this message whenever I try to go to an SSL secured page using Chromium:

NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

and Firefox when not using a proxy:

Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer

I'm not using tor or privoxy in chromium, nor do I have the entirety of my network communications being piped through them.  I only use them for weechat and firefox, so they shouldn't (I think) be affecting chromium.

What might be eliciting this error, and was it related to updating tor, privoxy, and their dependencies?

This sounds like you're doing partial updates?

Well, I just did a full pacman -Syu and now my system won't start.

Thanks for nothing.

Create a new topic about it, and post the errors you're getting. Include the list of packages just updated (check pacman.log).

Partial upgrades are not supported, so blaming Scimmia for your system not booting is unwarranted and counter-productive.

EDIT : If you're still ignoring the fact that ArchARM is a separate distribution, then please disregard the recommendation to open a new topic and ask on the ArchARM forums instead.
