The problem Landscape have in this case is that connection will fail if the certificate bundle in /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.conf do not contain the CA certificate required to validate the one presented by https://landscape.canonical.com. In fact, this is not restricted to Landscape but generalized to any software that depend on the certificate bundle from ca-certificates. For example, doing "wget https://landscape.canonical.com" will also fail in these cases.

The quick and dirty solution is to reconfigure ca-certificates with:

    sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates

I am unsure which CA certificate is required to validate https://landscape.canonical.com, so I selected all of them in the second dialog ("Select certificates to activate"). And it work: configure-landscape complete just fine then.
