Well, you certainly didn't make that clear in the initial report.

I asked upstream for a build time option to allow distros to configure a
default path but there never was a followup to that:  
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.offlineimap.general/5654/focus=5661
I suppose I can come up with a simple patch for openSUSE to set a default path
if sslcacertfile is not explicitly specified, but I don't know anything about
setuptools and how to implement build-time options in order to create an
upstreamable patch which would be preferrable, help welcome.
