This here is your problem. There is no root certificate for it to load.
You need to either adjust the path to wherever you have your root
certificate, or move the root certificate to the specified location.
(The archives.postgresql.org server appears dead ATM, so I can't see the
instructions you followed. But if they contained a step about the root
certificate, that's where you have to verify that you did the right
thing)
