ChefDK and Test Kitchen SSL issue

i'm running into this issue with the out of the box install of ChefDK on
both a OSX system and Ubuntu. using chef generate cookbook and getting the
default .kitchen.yml file and then running kitchen create to pull down and
create the box. i'm getting an error at what i'm assuming is the embedded
curl operation to pull down opscode ubuntu or centos box i get this

------Exception-------
Class: Kitchen::ActionFailed
Message: Failed to complete #create action: [Expected process to
exit with [0], but received '1'

SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
More details here: curl - SSL CA Certificates

   curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a

"bundle"
of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
the -k (or --insecure) option
this has to be a bug seeing that myself and other co-workers are getting
the same error with DK 3.5.1 .
i have tried adding the embedded SSL cert in the chefdk package to my local
cert store , no dice. on my mac i have set insecure globally for curl in
.curlrc which works ( i dont want this to be the fix) ,that does not work
on my linux machines. i'm running the support versions of ubuntu for DK.
really need to figure out what i'm doing wrong and how to fix it.
thanks

Can you determine which copy of curl vagrant is using, and what CA cert bundle curl is using? Also, are you unable to make any HTTPS requests, or just to S3, e.g., what does curl -I https://google.com say?

I wonder if this is the same issue as Berks install fails on Windows with SSL v3 verify error · Issue #199 · chef-boneyard/chef-dk · GitHub In short, some root certs got removed from the curl CA bundle because they’re using SHA1, but AWS’s cert is signed by one of these, so you need it.
