Hi Chris (cc to dev list),

Your QGIS is requesting 'https://ubuntu.qgis.org/version.txt'.
Problem is that ubuntu.qgis.org does not have a valid certificate (yet).

Not sure since when that url is used, but in my view it should be just
'https://qgis.org/version.txt'.
(Well, in my personal opinion, it should not even phone back anyway,
unless people press a button to do this)

Anybody knows how ubuntu.qgis.org ended up in this builds?

Because there was also a question recently about a ubuntu.qgis.org repo,
I just added it as ALT-name to the certificate.

So Chris, it should now 'just work' :-) .
Let me know if not.

Regards,
