Often this on test VM machines but I suppose unmanaged machines not connected to the internet would hit it.
Basically, you need to be connected to the internet occasionally to participate in security since security changes over time (that which was safe may become unsafe). Or so those that designed certificates say. There isn't currently a way at runtime to ask Burn to skip verification. Of course, you can do so at build time. I'm quite torn over the value of signed packages. Honestly, just using hashes is faster and less error prone.
