The error message tells you that a message digest algorithm
is being used (liklely by the remote site) which is not supported locally.
There is a big chance that this means that locally something (related
with ssl/message digests - i.e. likely "OpenSSL") is too old.

I would try to upgrade the "OpenSSL" installation -- and then see
whether the problem goes away.
