Indeed this brought success with wget on the Debian 8 machine.

  $ wget https://lists.debian.org

I copied
  /usr/share/ca-certificates
  /etc/ca-certificates.conf
  /etc/ssl/certs
from the Debian 10 machine (dist-upgraded last week) to the Debian 8.
But with or without a run of
  update-ca-certificates --fresh
wget did not work.
The proposal of mett finally got wget to download lists.debian.org with
certificate check enabled.


Now i am puzzled why this operation is not necessary on Debian 10 from
where the file /etc/ca-certificates.conf was copied.
The entry is in /etc/ca-certificates.conf,
DST_Root_CA_X3.crt exists in /usr/share/ca-certificates,
the link DST_Root_CA_X3.pem exists in /etc/ssl/certs.
Nevertheless wget works on my Debian 10 with https://lists.debian.org.

I am not aware of any servers on the Debian 8 machine which would have to
do with certificates. I had not to restart anything after
  update-ca-certificates --fresh
wget worked immediately after.

Do SSL clients depend on a local service ?


Have a nice day :)
