If it can't validate the cert, it could be the sign of a MITM attack. Likely? No, but I wouldn't take content with cert issues and run it as root. At least not

If it can't validate the cert, it could be the sign of a MITM attack. Likely? No, but I wouldn't take content with cert issues and run it as root. At least not without validating it in some other way.
