PiHole update – certificate error

Attempting to update PiHole from the command line, I received the error below:

[i] Downloading and Installing FTL…curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CApath: /etc/ssl/certs

[✗] Downloading and Installing FTL

Error: URL https://github.com/pi-hole/ftl/releases/latest/download/pihole-FTL-armv7-linux-gnueabihf not found

[✗] FTL Engine not installed

Unable to complete update, please contact Pi-hole Support

 

I searched the /setc/ssl/certs folder and didn’t find anything out of the ordinary.

Updated CA Certificates:

 

sudo update-ca-certificates

 

After this, re-running pihole update worked correctly.
