Hi all,

I am running into this problem with apt in Ubuntu jammy (22.04 LTS), see
error message below. Not sure how to fix this or work around this.

I have followed all guidelines on https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt, the
certificates are up to date. I also removed outdated apt lists, but it was
to no avail.

I'd appreciate any help resolving this. Thanks!
