I just noticed the same after upgrading from 6.1.9 to 6.2.2. Snooped around my /etc/ssl/certs directory and noticed NONE of the symlinks existed. These were all pointing to /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/ which is updated by the package "ca-certificates". Sure enough I see a netgear specific package for this, so I downgraded to the last debian packaged version.
I don't know why netgear would remove practically all the known certificate authorities... but likely that's why you might be experience SSL cert issues in various programs. I took a look inside the netgear derived package "ca-certificates_20140325.netgear1_all", and sure enough it only has Verisign and Entrust CA certs. So why has this package been around since March 2014? Just waiting to singularly b0rk everyones installs? I could understand if it was something recent from the 6.2.2 update...but March 2014?!
