OT Debian updating ssl certificates?

[Tony Baechler]

I'm having the same problem on both Debian and Ubuntu. Not only do I install 
all package updates, but I manually installed the latest ca-certificates 
from the mirror to work around this problem. Often, I'll go to sites which 
work fine in Firefox but Lynx complains that the certificate can't be 
verified. This is very annoying. What else can I try? The same thing happens 
with wget, so it isn't a specific Lynx problem. It happens on most sites and 
the certs are from known certificate authorities. I don't remember the exact 
date of the latest package, but it's from 2016 and installed without errors.
