which docs suggested that should work? what operating system are you
expecting it to work for?
if you're using debian or a debian-derived system like mint or ubuntu,
and you want to add a CA to the "system trusted root store", you
actually want to add the file with a .crt extension (not .cert) to
/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/ and then run "update-ca-certificates"
as the superuser.
Please read:
/usr/share/doc/ca-certificates/README.Debian
on your local system for more details.

gpg's keyserver-option ca-cert-file's default for hkps is dependent on
the TLS library libcurl linked to from libcurl in the handler in
/usr/lib/gnupg/gpgkeys_hkp. on debian systems right now, this is
libgnutls26, which currently has no default root CAs.
newer versions of gnutls have a standard default root CA set that maps
to the system provided above by ca-certificates.
If and when gnupg-curl builds against libgnutls28-dev (the next major
API change in gnutls), it should adopt those changes.
