If you experience such situations, the right approach is to contact the owner of the certificate (or the server), and ask them to get a replacement certificate, or to install a replacement certificate on their SSL/TLS server.
That’s the right thing to do of course, but leaves the users with an unusable system in the mean time. Could the update description at least generally point to how to work around this if the certificate owner is not (sufficiently quickly) responsive? Mirek
Most software has options to override certificate errors.
I don't want to encourage how to do that, and covering all potential applications would result in a big list.
I'd assume that people who are desparate will find the options on how to override certificate errors and connect anyway.
