On one of the supercomputers that I use I get:

It works in the end but it doesn’t look good 🙂 Should I file an issue over at Downloads.jl?

I face the same issue when I am trying to add a package in the HPC. The difference is that in my case it doesn’t work. Is there a solution?

This is not the same issue, this is [https://github.com/JuliaLang/Downloads.jl/issues/149](https://github.com/JuliaLang/Downloads.jl/issues/149) (which should be fixed on Julia master).

Sorry, I also got the error

```julia
┌ Error: curl_easy_setopt: 48
└ @ Downloads.Curl /Users/julia/buildbot/worker/package_macos64/build/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v1.6/Downloads/src/Curl/utils.jl:36

```

Which seems the same as the title. Sorry for not looking into the details.
