Please use the --status-fd interface. This yields all the info you need. An exit code is not distinct enough for such purpose and you need to check the status lines in any case. For scripting gpgme-tool or gpgme-json might be useful as well because they do all the nitty-gritty parts of using gpg correctly

The LE web site has instruction on how to do this. However, it is complicated and depends on your system. The intermediate cert you listed is signed by the expired old root cert. If you remove this intermediate cert the other root cert will be found and we are done. The old LE certs had a 4 tier chain and the new one a 3 tier.
