Subject: Re: wget ssl certificate problem
It's not just ww.gutenberg.org. That's an example of what happens no
matter what site I try to use wget on.  About the truststore, how do I
add to or update it?  I decided to ask for help after trying to install
openwebrx following the instructions here.
https://www.openwebrx.de/download/ubuntu.php  Also I found out today
that something similar happens with youtube-dl.  I tried to use it today
and this is what happened.   Youtube-dl works if I use the
--no-check-certificate option.

$ youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW3XQDDGhA4
[youtube] VW3XQDDGhA4: Downloading webpage
