Bug Description

Pollinate provides a standalone SSL certificate bundle in `/etc/pollinate/entropy.ubuntu.com.pem` for subjects `CN=DigiCert Global Root CA` and `CN=DigiCert SHA2 Secure Server CA`.

The intermediate certificate in that file for subject `CN = DigiCert SHA2 Secure Server CA` is about to expire:

```
  - path: /etc/pollinate/entropy.ubuntu.com.pem
    subject: C = US, O = DigiCert Inc, CN = DigiCert SHA2 Secure Server CA
    not after: 2023-03-08 12:00:00
    expires: 28 days
```

I'm not sure whether this will impact the proper operation of Pollinate, or if it will simply use a different certificate path automatically.

This issue seems to exist on at least Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04, on a fully upgraded installation.

LSB release:

Hello Ferry and thanks for this bug report. How did you get to the 2023-03-08 expiration date? I get this on a Bionic system:

$ openssl x509 -noout -text < /etc/pollinate/entropy.ubuntu.com.pem
[...]
Issuer: C = US, O = DigiCert Inc, OU = www.digicert.com, CN = DigiCert Global Root CA
Validity
    Not Before: Nov 10 00:00:00 2006 GMT
    Not After : Nov 10 00:00:00 2031 GMT

And the same on Focal.

There are 2 certificates in the mentioned file.
openssl x509 only shows the first certificate.

Use openssl storeutl to get info on both certificates:

$ openssl storeutl -noout -text -certs /etc/pollinate/entropy.ubuntu.com.pem | grep -b2 'Not Before'
197- Issuer: C=US, O=DigiCert Inc, OU=www.digicert.com, CN=DigiCert Global Root CA
