Certificate installation error on mono 4.1.0

Question

I want to run aspnet 5.0 on Linux with latest build of Mono. I was able to successfully install mono 4.1.0 from github/master. When I tried to install the certificates, I get the below error

In case the image is not clear the error says

System.IO.IOException: The authentication or decryption has failed. ---> System.IO.IOException: The authentication or decryption has failed. ---> Mono.Security.Protocol.Tls.TlsException: The authentication or decryption has failed.

Anybody facing this issue and have a solution? I cannot continue installation of aspnet packages unless this is fixed and I wasn't able to get any solution from my online searches. Additional info, when i run 'sudo mozroots --import --sync' I get the error

sudo mozroots --import --sync

Seems mozroots is your problem. As a workaround you can do this:

 wget -q 'http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/security/nss/lib/ckfw/builtins/certdata.txt?raw=1' -O "/tmp/certdata.txt" 
 mozroots --import --ask-remove --file /tmp/certdata.txt

The full story could be found here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1279952#c8

And the better suggestion is

Console.WriteLine ("WARNING: mozroots is deprecated, please move to cert-sync instead.");
