Hi Jack,

thanks for your help!
...and sorry if this is not Guix specific

oh I see, I get this error also... but I do not understand the different
behaviour with what I see in Firefox (from Debian) or ungoogled-chromium
(from Guix): using one of those browsers the certificate is valid, the
certificate viewer shows that the root in cert hierarchy is "USERTrust
RSA Certification Authority"

The section in [0] titled "Certificate Chain Diagram" states:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

A legacy browser or older device that does not have the modern
“USERTRust” root would not trust it and so would look further up the
chain to a root it does trust, the AddTrust External CA Root. A more
modern browser would have the USERTrust root already installed and trust
itwithout needing to rely on the older AddTrust root.

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I do not fully understand why curl and wget return error while Firefox
and ungoogled-chromium not

this page states:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

Will my certificate still be trusted after May 30, 2020?

Yes. All modern clients and operating systems have the newer, modern
COMODO and USERTrust roots which don’t expire until 2038.

Thanks! Gio'
