Which is signed by Let's Encrypt CA certificates:

---
Certificate chain
 0 s:CN = irc.aachat.net
   i:C = US, O = Let's Encrypt, CN = R3
 1 s:C = US, O = Let's Encrypt, CN = R3
   i:C = US, O = Internet Security Research Group, CN = ISRG Root X1
 2 s:C = US, O = Internet Security Research Group, CN = ISRG Root X1
   i:O = Digital Signature Trust Co., CN = DST Root CA X3
---

Verification reports OK on my machine (Ubuntu 20.04).

The "ISRG Root X1" CA certificate should be in Debian 8 and above:
	https://letsencrypt.org/docs/certificate-compatibility/
	https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/


On Ubuntu (and probably also Debian) this CA certificate is
/etc/ssl/certs/ISRG_Root_X1.pem which is a symlink to
/usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/ISRG_Root_X1.crt

So you may want to check that those files still exist and have not
been altered (assuming location is same/similar on Debian).

For info the SHA1 sums on my machine are:

$ sha1sum /etc/ssl/certs/ISRG_Root_X1.pem /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/ISRG_Root_X1.crt
4de9627fe9ace4acce27eaa1a0837cd3db55704b  /etc/ssl/certs/ISRG_Root_X1.pem
4de9627fe9ace4acce27eaa1a0837cd3db55704b  /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/ISRG_Root_X1.crt

Which match the PEM file on Let's Encrypt site:
      https://letsencrypt.org/certs/isrgrootx1.pem.txt
