I think this is either a bug fixed in newer software or the certificates
in your os are too old.

A workaround is to disable git's certification verification for the
current shell:

export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1

or for all commands with:

git config --global http.sslverify false

To get an update to fix the issue, I suggest 1st trying to update all
your software:

apt update
apt dist-upgrade

or if that has a problem, just one package

apt update
apt install ca-certificates

What trisquel version are you on now?
