There’s a bunch of threads on here with that error messages, and usually it’s users on systems with download restrictions (corporate firewalls etc.), see for example

> [@Unable to automatically install 'OpenSpecFun' when trying to add 'Symbolics'](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/unable-to-automatically-install-openspecfun-when-trying-to-add-symbolics/60950/8):
>
> Unfortunately I’m not sure DebugArtifacts.jl is very reliable for debugging this kind of issues with Julia v1.6, as the download stack changed a lot

I don’t really know what to do in these cases unfortunately other than moaning on here and hoping that @giordano spots the thread.
