[Bug 1875781] [NEW] Unable to verify self signed certificate

[Taiten Peng]

Public bug reported:

See the upstream bug background
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/1418

The issue initially was caught in a case when developers works behind
company firewall and requires install company self signed certificate on
Ubuntu host in order to access via company proxy.

This is also causing problems for snapcraft developers who work behind
proxy servers unable to build snap packages.

There is a fix going into openssl upstream apparently
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/10587

Just create a bug here to track this issue in Ubuntu in order to make
sure we merge upstream fixes ultimately.
