I tested the same on Ubuntu 18.04 with the shipped curl version there and it
works fine.

The cert is used by Fastly for a vast amount of servers so you'll likely to
have widespread issues when it doesn't work.

Finally: that URL is the old one anyway, get the bundle from the current URL
and you'll see that it is signed by anoter cert: https://curl.se/ca/cacert.pem
