Hi,

I wiped out my `.julia` and running `] up` or `] add https://github.com/jheinen/GR.jl` gives

```julia
(v1.1) pkg> add https://github.com/jheinen/GR.jl
   Cloning git-repo `https://github.com/jheinen/GR.jl`
ERROR: failed to clone from https://github.com/jheinen/GR.jl, error: GitError(Code:ERROR, Class:SSL, unexpected return value from ssl handshake -9806)

```

I am wondering if the new [website](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/switching-package-registration-systems-on-monday/22677) could be the culprit…

Anyhow, I hope someone can solve it as wihout packages, life is more difficult…

Thank you,

Bests

I’m not sure how that could be related… we don’t have any influence over GitHub’s HTTPS implementation (one of the reasons to switch to serving packages from servers that we do control). Are you behind a firewall?

I found it… It was my Antivirus.

I apologize for that.

Bests.
