SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired (not really)

I tried ghcup tui and it failed with a message about cert expiry.

Has the SSL cert really expired? Checking the link https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/data/ghcup-0.0.6.yaml manually, I see it looks good:

Here's the problem I encountered:

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired
More details here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
 of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
 bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
 using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
 the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
 problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
 not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
 the -k (or --insecure) option.
HTTPS-proxy has similar options --proxy-cacert and --proxy-insecure.

Checking the cache:

> pwd
/Users/pdejoux/.ghcup/cache
> ls
ghcup-0.0.2.json  ghcup-0.0.2.yaml  ghcup-0.0.3.yaml  ghcup-0.0.4.yaml  ghcup-0.0.5.yaml

Can't upgrade either for the same reason.

Add the following contents to your ~/.ghcup/config.yaml:

"url-source":
  OwnSource: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/haskell/ghcup-metadata/master/ghcup-0.0.6.yaml"

Make sure to remove/update these when you upgrade your ghcup (in case the new yaml is ghcup-0.0.7.yaml)

Thanks for your help @maerwald. Long overdue, I upgraded this machine's OS version. After the upgrade, the problem I reported on this issue is no longer reproducible and ghcup tui works fine.
