[SOLVED} This is a new one on me CA related

[half_life]

I let my certificates lapse without renewing it on my home system.  I tried to create a new one but I keep getting this message on the GUI 


Unknown error. Given the OpenSSL output: Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key ...................++++++ ......................++++++ unable to write 'random state' writing new private key to '/var/lib/zentyal/CA/private/cakey.pem' ----- problems making Certificate Request 22553:error:0D07A098:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_mbstring_ncopy:string too short:a_mbstr.c:147:minsize=2 error in req


 I was hoping that someone had already run into this.

Zentyal 2.2
all modules up to date

I have already tried rm -r /var/lib/zentyal/CA to no avail.

Thanks in advance

I solved it.  It was a two part issue.  First  "unable to write random state"  is a permissions problem with /var/lib/zentyal/.rnd .  I loosened up the permissions and that part of the error went away.  Next was a little more puzzling but the clue is minsize=2.  I had been entering in 1 in "Country Code"  and that was what was generating the error.
