Cannot create a new image (x509 error)

Question

Having a problem when I try to create a new 16.04 x64 Ubuntu container:

$ sudo lxc --version
2.0.3

$ sudo lxc launch images:ubuntu/xenial/amd64 my-container
error: Get https://images.linuxcontainers.org:8443/1.0/images/ubuntu/xenial/amd64: x509: certificate is valid for images.linuxcontainers.org, uk.images.linuxcontainers.org, us.images.linuxcontainers.org, not *.linuxcontainers.org

I'm running this from a 14.04 x64 Ubuntu machine. The error message seems a bit ambiguous as it specifies the host images.linuxcontainers.org in the list of valid servers and that is the same server the Get command it operating against (unless the port is important?)

How am I able to get this to work?

Ok, it appears when I change the image uri it works, for instance:

sudo lxc launch ubuntu:xenial/amd64 my-container

Yet, the documentation states I can use the images:... uri: https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/getting-started-cli/#using-the-built-in-image-remotes
