Public bug reported: While using debian-installer to install Ubuntu Focal, I get the following error:
May 16 22:02:41 base-installer: Certificate verification failed: The certificate is NOT trusted. The certificate chain uses expired certificate. Could not handshake: Error in the certificate verification. [IP: 129.59.59.10 443] There was an issue in 2021, where the "DST_Root_CA_X3.crt" certificate used by Let's Encrypt expired. https://letsencrypt.org/docs/dst-root-ca-x3-expiration- september-2021/ The problem is that the certificate is still included in the "ca- certificates_20190110ubuntu1_all.deb" that debian-installer fetches during install.
