Reinhard,

I see the same problem with getnonfreefonts on my MacBook Pro

athena:Desktop tjk$ sudo getnonfreefonts --sys

Resolving www.tug.org (www.tug.org)... 94.23.251.76

Connecting to www.tug.org (www.tug.org)|94.23.251.76|:443... connected.

ERROR: cannot verify www.tug.org's certificate, issued by ‘CN=R3,O=Let's
Encrypt,C=US’:

  Issued certificate has expired.

To connect to www.tug.org insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.

! Error: Can't execute wget.



I did some research and found this


https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2021/09/13/LetsEncryptRootCertExpire/


So I _suspect_ the version of wget in use uses an older version of OpenSSL.

Perhaps wget might be using GnuTLS, but I am not sure of the Let's Encrypt

certificates will have a problem with GnuTLS.


In the meantime, I am going to build the most current wget with the most

current OpenSSL 1.1.1 and see how I fare.
