in my company, there are several instances that are being backends for production, testing and other purposes. I am also a new employee in the company. Recently, all of the instances suddenly cannot receive any update using git or apt-get.

  1. When I use git fetch --all, the result is:
fatal: unable to access 'https://[...].git/': server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none

After I saw the post, I use git config --global http.sslverify false and git fetch all again. the result is:

fatal: unable to access 'https://[...].git/': The requested URL returned error: 403
error: Could not fetch origin

That's very weird because I don't know it's a certification issue or user permission issue. Or just at the end it's a certification issue.

  1. Someone suggests that using sudo apt-get update in this link, When I use sudo apt-get update, there are lots of errors:

  1. Also cannot ping and curl anything.

It is really appreciated if anyone could provide some hints/ solutions for me because I have worked on these issues for days! The dis is Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS, our team has used Let's Encrypt for certificate, thanks so much.

  1. Setting git config --global http.sslverify false for git part in : this link

  2. sudo apt-get update mentioned in: this link

  • Do you route that traffic through a proxy? (Also: git config http.sslverify false, with or without --global, is a wildly dangerous tool. Don't use it lightly.) Commented Apr 24 at 17:53

It looks like there are problems with the firewall. Maybe the FW cracks the encryption to check the packets. After the check the packet is encrypted again with a new internal certificate. If this is not installed on the system, the error appears.

Test:

ssh -vvv [User]@[URL]

Workaround:

  • Install the certificate under Linux.

  • Thanks! that's indeed a firewall issue Commented May 7 at 3:36
