Workaround: $ GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1 git clone https://alioth.debian.org/anonscm/git/pkg-wml/pkg-wml.git Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/pkg-wml/.git/ warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository. You can make the workaround permanent with echo '[http] sslverify = false' >> ~/.gitconfig with the obvious associated collateral damage. See git-config(1) for more details. > On the same system: > > $ openssl s_client -CAfile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt -connect > alioth.debian.org:443 [...] > subject=/O=Debian/CN=alioth.debian.org/emailaddress=ad...@alioth.debian.org > issuer=/O=Debian/CN=ca.debian.org/emailaddress=debian-ad...@debian.org [...] > So this is not a problem with the ca bundle.

Sadly I know almost nothing about these things. With gnutls-bin installed, gnutls-cli -p 443 <host> tells me that - The hostname in the certificate matches '<host>' - Peer's certificate issuer is unknown - Peer's certificate is NOT trusted and it does not abort, for just about any host I try. Git uses the following settings (from http.c): if (!curl_ssl_verify) { curl_easy_setopt(result, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0); curl_easy_setopt(result, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0); } else { /* Verify authenticity of the peer's certificate */ curl_easy_setopt(result, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1); /* The name in the cert must match whom we tried to connect */ curl_easy_setopt(result, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2); } Ramakrishnan, do these settings look sane to you? Does curl interpret these settings the same way when using the OpenSSL backend (as most people elsewhere do) and when using GnuTLS backend (as Debian does for licensing reasons)?
