This means that (lib)curl couldn't local trust store against which 
to verify the server's certificate.

freshclam uses libcurl to download files, and the libcurl authors 
have for better or worse decreed that every user has to take care 
of pointing libcurl to the local store (instead of honouring 
CURL_CA_BUNDLE in the library).

On most systems this isn't a problem because the default (/etc/…) 
location exists.  Not so on Guix: we rely entirely on 
CURL_CA_BUNDLE being set to the correct location in /gnu/store.

Let's see how we can patch freshclam to point libcurl in the right 
direction…

Kind regards,
