Issue Creating Certificate Authority with OpenSSL

I am attempting to generate and sign a new SSL certificate as the previous one was issued to a different domain name and is preventing login to landscape from the web. Although I am running into a strange problem in that the command:

sudo /usr/lib/ssl/misc/CA.pl -newca

Simply continues to the next blank line within the Linux shell and doesn't continue to the next step in creating the certificate authority... This was working 30 minutes ago, and the command below to generate the SSL certificate functions as expected.

sudo /usr/lib/ssl/misc/CA.pl -newreq-nodes

More information as to what it is that I am tryng to do: https://help.landscape.canonical.com/LDS/SSL

If the demoCA directory already exists then the -newca option will not overwrite it and will do nothing. This can happen if a previous call using the -newca option terminated abnormally. To get the correct behavior, delete the demoCA directory if it already exists.
