Presumably you are installing the latest package versions?

There used to be a problem where the programs made the directories read only so 
updates failed.

Check /var/log/setup.log.full for errors perhaps from 
ca-certificates/-letsencrypt or p11-kit.

Try checking permissions by running `ls -dl /etc/pki/ca-trust/**/`:

$ ls -dglo /etc/pki/ca-trust/**/
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 Jan  8 07:36 /etc/pki/ca-trust/
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 Jan  8 07:31 /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 Jan  8 07:36 /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/edk2/
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 Jan  8 07:36 /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/java/
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 Jan  8 07:36 /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/openssl/
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 Jan  8 07:36 /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem/
dr-xr-xr-x 1 0 Jan  8 07:36 /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem/directory-hash/
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 Jan  8 07:36 /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 Sep  6  2022 /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 Sep  6  2022 /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/blacklist/

note only directory-hash is read only [used -go to omit ids and reduce width].
