What you were trying to do (and why)

Nothing special, just stuck because I have no ca-certificates.

I did brew upgrade. That's all.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew install commands)

brew install [email protected]

[dawidd6]

Run: HOMEBREW_CURLRC=1 brew reinstall openssl curl

[thedrow]

HOMEBREW_CURLRC=1 brew reinstall openssl curl

Same error.

[dawidd6]

If you have curl installed by system package manager, you can just uninstall the brewed one, upgrade openssl and then install brewed curl again.

[thedrow]

Yes that works as a workaround.

I got caught into the same issue. This workaround worked for me too.
Thanks!
