Having a file that is not a certificate is not something broken.
The message is distracting and can make more useful messages less
visible.
Also, wget is not the right tool to see if something is broken
in the certificate directory. Even if something is broken, when
I run wget, I don't want to be distracted by any error that
doesn't affect the current download.
I have a script (which is run by cron every night, but can also be
run manually, e.g. after updating the certificates) that does a
openssl verify -CApath . *.{crt,pem}
so that I can see whether something is wrong, such as an expired
certificate. BTW, that's this script (and another one) that makes
wget complain. I've put it in the directory so that everything
related is at the same place (and if I move or rename the directory,
I don't have to update the script).
