I am trying to install ement.el with the following config

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package ement
    :elpaca (:host github :repo "alphapapa/ement.el"))
#+end_src

When the config is loaded I get the error as follows. There are no network issues.

    This is the issue. I was not even able to clone a repo via terminal. Followed the steps mentioned in the link and it now works without issue. thanks :)

    Including the instruction here below for it might be useful to someone.

    From stackoverflow

    -------

    Make sure first that you have certificates installed on your Debian in /etc/ssl/certs

    If not, reinstall them:

    sudo apt-get install --reinstall ca-certificates

    Since that package does not include root certificates, add:

    sudo mkdir /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/cacert.org sudo wget -P /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/cacert.org http://www.cacert.org/certs/root.crt http://www.cacert.org/certs/class3.crt sudo update-ca-certificates

    Make sure your git does reference those CA:

    git config --global http.sslCAinfo /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
