Nearly all certs these days are not signed directly by 'root' certs but
instead by an intermediate cert. In *some* cases it is possible to
retrieve a needed intermediate cert based on information in the end-user
cert. The retrieved intermediate cert itself can have its own problems
that break verification, such as simple expiration or the use of
obsolete weak algorithms, or it can itself be signed by an unknown cert
rather than by a trusted root.
It should be possible to determine what the problem is by using the
"Show Details" button.
