**Resolving** package versions…  
I’m getting the following error whenever I run a pkg command:

**┌ Warning:** could not download [https://pkg.julialang.org/registries](https://pkg.julialang.org/registries)

**│** exception = RequestError: SSLRead() return error -9806 while requesting [https://pkg.julialang.org/registries](https://pkg.julialang.org/registries)

This has been working previously. If I enter that URL in a web browser, it downloads a file “registries.conservative” that has “/registry/233385940…” in one line.

The only thing I’m doing that’s not my usual routing is logging in from a Starbucks.

Any thoughts on troubleshooting? TIA.

I’m also running into this issue on a network with an interception proxy. Weirdly, 1.10 and earlier works but 1.11 does not. How do I even begin to debug this?
