Issue running Certbot on openSuSE 15.1

I ran this command:
sudo certbot --apache

It produced this output:

2020-08-17 12:48:22,544:ERROR:certbot._internal.log:An unexpected error occurred:

My web server is (include version):
apache2 -2.4.33

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
openSuSE 15.1

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):
Yes

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):
NO

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot):
certbot 1.0.0

Thanks

Is that really how the error appears in /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log?

Seems that the error has something to do with OpenSSL loading your trusted CA certificates off the filesystem, but the cause of the error is obscured.

Certbot seems to work fine on a fresh 15.1 system, so I think we need help from your logs.

Also, does this work on your system?

curl -I https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

Thanks for the reply.

That is how the error appears.. I've copied it straight out.

curl -I https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
More details here: curl - SSL CA Certificates

curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.

I hope that helps..
