It is not, if the certificate verification fails, debsecan will never
get to the point where it will download anything and could notice that
the requested data is not available.

This could have been caused by pasting the wrong URL (e.g., with a
trailing colon).

Or something could intercept HTTPS traffic on your end, and the
interception certificate was not loaded into the system trust store.
