Error checking for updates

Hi there,

As part of routine maintenance, I regularly check if VirtualBox has any update. However, this old bug never went away.

This on Mac OS X 10.14.6 and VBox 6.1.44.

Content of selectorwindow.log as it fails once again to check for updates:

I tried what was suggested, i.e. in

~/Library/VirtualBox

remove

vbox-ssl-cacertificate.crt

file, and try again, to no avail. Then the certificate thing: I have a bunch of expired certificates (mostly self-signed), but not DigiCert High Assurance" CA or "Apple Root" CA.

What am I missing here?
