 to download packages.  Its certificate bundle is in `/usr/share/curl` and
 was last updated in 2007.  What worked for me was to replace it with a
 copy of the MacPorts one assuming you have the `curl` port installed:

 It doesn't fix the fact that our distfiles mirror hasn't been mirroring
 our distfiles since March; our server admins need to figure out what's
 causing that and fix it.

 installation which does not get used …

 The command "`port installed depends:curl`" will show which of your
 installed ports depend on curl. If there aren't any, you can of course
 uninstall curl.

 MacPorts doesn't generally itself use the ports you installed because that
 can cause problems during upgrades, or if for any other reason that port
 becomes unusable.
