• maybe apt-get --reinstall install ca-certificates is what you really want to really fix the problem below!
• download curl http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem -o ca--bundle.crt
• verify shasum is correct on another machine e.g. gsha256sum ca-bundle.crt on osx:homebrew:coreutils package sha256sum on linux
• install certificate bundle sudo cp ~/GIT/ca-bundle.crt /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
