IMO a better solution is to catch the error and print an informative

we should hide the backtrace and add a hint towards a solution.
I think handling the TLS error gracefully is orthogonal to whether or
not nss-certs is installed.
Agreed.
There are other X.509 certificate collections available on the systems
that Guix supports, and even some Guix packages use their own
collections. Also, programs that need to look up certificates tend to
find them via environment variables, so if one wanted to use nss-certs,
it's not enough just to install it.

Sounds like a good idea.
How do we catch the error?
