bug#35773: hexchat: unable to get local issuer certificate

[Jeff Bauer]

I've installed the hexchat 2.14.2 package onto two
different Ubuntu systems (16.04, 18.04), and get the
following error when attempting to log onto freenode:

"Connection failed (unable to get local issuer certificate.? (20))"

There's no problem when I revert back to the official
distro version of hexchat.

I've also installed the 'le-certs' package, but it appears
that hexchat still cannot get the local cert.

Please let me know if there's any further information
I can provide.  Thanks.
