Version information: (from `newsboat --version`)

newsboat 2.13.0
System: Linux 5.1.7-gnu (x86_64)
Compiler: g++ 5.5.0
ncurses: ncurses 6.1.20180127 (compiled with 6.1)
libcurl: libcurl/7.65.0 GnuTLS/3.6.5 zlib/1.2.11 libidn2/2.0.5

Currently only http feeds are successfully being resolved, all https
feeds fail the SSL verification. I am using the Guix System, and no
other program (web browsers, etc.) exibits this behavior.

An example of the specific error given:
"Error while retrieving https://xkcd.com/rss.xml: SSL peer certificate 
or SSH remote key was not OK"

Hi Giovanni,

Yes, I have nss-certs included in the packages field of the OS 
declaration.
I tried explicitly installing it for my user account but it did not 
affect the
bug at all.

Thank you for responding!

OK, so I finally was able to test newsboat (I do not use it usually)

This is my current Guix generation (on foreign distro):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Generation 26	Jun 20 2019 17:35:43	(current)
  guix ace8e26
    repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
    branch: master
    commit: ace8e269a40b31a9c6f413c0674529880da6a48e
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I installed newsboat, imported (`newsboat -i ~/Desktop/test.opml`) a few
test feeds in opml:

[signature.asc (application/pgp-signature, inline)]
[test.opml (application/octet-stream, inline)]
[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]
and then started `newsboat`: I was able to fetch and read all the https
feeds I imported

Can you plase confirm you still get this error?

If so, what's your current guix generation and plase attach an
opmlexport containing the offending URL(s)?

Thanks! Gio'.

Giovanni,

Thank you for following through with this issue!
Today I tried newsboat for the first time since my last
email and I was surprised to find that the issue has been
completely fixed. Thanks again for your help!
