#191338 — HTTPS - Your connection is not private - ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

Hi all,

I'm helping a friend with his netbook,  an old acer aspire one, on
which I had installed
Debian Jessie about two years ago.

He was receiving a message at boot: "run fsck manually" for some
filesystem inconsistency.
He ask me for help, so after having run fsck the system boot properly.

Then I checked the system and noticed chromium was not able to strart
as expected.
I uninstalled chromium and tried to reinstall it, but apt won't to
reinstall it. The problem was
a link to unstable repo in sources.list (I had added that to install a
newer kernel customized in jessie):
removed that line I installed chromium without any problem.

Now, when I open chromium or midori, I receive the error in the message subject.
Any https url is not opened and a warning page is displayed instead.

What could be the problem?
And How to solve?

Many thanks in advance!  :)

Sounds like the root CA (Certification Authority) certificates aren't
installed, making it impossible to establish trust in the individual
site certificates.

First thing I'd try would be reinstalling the ca-certificates package.

(Well, actually, the first thing I'd consider would be copying all
important data to another location, then either restore a backup or
reinstall the system, because it sounds like the problem it encountered
is having widespread effects, so you're likely to encounter further
weird problems like this in the future.  But I assume that, in this
case, neither of those is a viable option, so you're stuck with playing
whack-a-mole as broken things are discovered.)

#191362

I tried:

apt remove ca-certificates

and then:

apt install ca-certificates

But the problem persists..

I'd follow your suggest.
I've backed up, some scripts and openbox configurations.

Now I'm ready to do a reinstall from scratch.

Anyway, before that, I'd like to try to remove all "non-jessie"
packages installed, to obtain a "pure" Jessie system.

Is there a way with apt or aptitude to achieve that goal?
Thank a lot for your reply Dave!!!   :D
