Julia 1.6 other libcurl download issues

neophytedave · April 20, 2021, 9:46pm

I long ago abandoned working with Julia (Windows 10). I have not been able to add any packages at all for the last several versions. I get the following messages.

(@v1.6) pkg> add Plots
    Updating registry at `C:\Users\vhaglasmithdi\.julia\registries\JuliaComputingRegistry`
┌ Warning: could not download https://pkg.julialang.org/registries
└ @ Pkg.Types C:\buildbot\worker\package_win64\build\usr\share\julia\stdlib\v1.6\Pkg\src\Types.jl:976
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:
 * Plots (not found in project, manifest or registry)

I do not even have a “buildbot” directory on my C: drive. For some reason, simply adding packages seems to have become issue for many here. If someone wants to do some handholding with this “babe in the woods”, fine. If not, I understand.

aramirezreyes · April 20, 2021, 10:06pm

If you are using JuliaPro and have nothing important in there I would advice uninstalling JuliaPro, deleting C:\Users\vhaglasmithdi\.julia and installing a fresh regular julia (although killing everything may be overkill).
Or do you need specifically JuliaPro?

neophytedave · April 20, 2021, 11:04pm

Dear Mr. Argel_Ramirez_Reyes (hereinafter “ARR”):

Did as you suggested. Deleted Julia 1.6, JuliaPro, .julia, and did a fresh install. Did I get “further”? Yes. However the error printout is now so lengthy that it gets truncated.

StefanKarpinski · April 21, 2021, 12:15am

Unless you are seeing the same certificate revocation check error as above, this is unlikely to be the same issue. If you want trouble shooting help there’s a couple of things that would be helpful: start a new topic to discuss and include the full error message.

lstagner · April 21, 2021, 12:36am

I’m running into a similar issue. I tried setting the environmental variable ENV["JULIA_SSL_NO_VERIFY_HOSTS"] = "github.com" but that didn’t work I keep getting curl_easy_setop: 2/43 errors.

StefanKarpinski · April 21, 2021, 1:24am

Also unlikely to be the same issue. My guess is that you are using a system libcurl and it’s old.

lstagner · April 21, 2021, 1:26am

Yeah thats probably right. Trying to get IT to update the cluster is an impossible task. Is there anyway to use a different libcurl?

StefanKarpinski · April 21, 2021, 1:35am

The official Julia binaries ship with a correct version of libcurl and building it from source also downloads and builds the correct version by default. So one has to make the effort to build Julia against the old, broken system libcurl. I would recommend asking the sysadmin to either upgrade libcurl to something recent or rebuild Julia with its own libcurl. You can also point out that having an old libcurl is a security risk and that especially network code should be kept current.

neophytedave · April 21, 2021, 6:36pm

Dear Dr. Karpinski:

I do not want to take time from the Discourse group. There are some cloud computing sites sites that provide a Julia environment, either free or at nominal cost. I will make use of those. Perhaps I will come back to Julia at some future time. Thank you.

Yours,

NeophyteDave

oheil · April 21, 2021, 6:45pm

As similar problems sporadically but regularily pop up here, it would be good if we could find the common cause to this, to be able to solve it. Perhaps there are more than one reasons for this, not always equal to everyone where it happens.
What it needs is someone (or more) who suffers from this AND is willing to put some effort into it to resolve it. With the information we have now, it is very difficult to find a solution. The amount of information I see here on discourse is very little.

StefanKarpinski · April 21, 2021, 7:42pm

A major issue with diagnosing these problems is that Pkg “swallows” a lot of errors and just moves on to try the next possible way of getting something. Then at the end you just get a vague “couldn’t fetch this thing” error. This is extremely annoying from a developer perspective. There’s been some effort lately to fix it. It’s possible that @neophytedave is having the same problem as is reported in the other thread, but based on what he’s posted, it’s impossible to tell. There was test code to try posted there to help diagonse the specific problem but that has not been run here, so who knows? @lstagner’s problem is definitely not the same.

oheil · April 21, 2021, 7:57pm

Some kind of debug mode the user can switch on, try again, and detailed log metric is written to some file the user could provide.
This would be nice. Or something similar.
Still it needs a user who is willing to help.

neophytedave · April 21, 2021, 8:25pm

Dear Mr. Oheil:

I would welcome some sort of debug mode. I really would like to be able to use Julia.

Neophytedave

oheil · April 21, 2021, 8:52pm

Dear @neophytedave

Could you try the following commands and report output here?

versioninfo()
using Libdl
libcurl = "libcurl-4.dll"
libcurl_handle = dlopen(libcurl)
libcurl_path = dlpath(libcurl_handle)

This is to identify which curl library is loaded and which Julia system you are running.
Thank you.

neophytedave · April 21, 2021, 9:47pm

Perhaps hope does spring (eventually).

The following (up to “-------------------------------“ below) is output from my latest attempt to add plots. After that is output produced by Mr. Oheil’s request that I enter certain commands at the REPL.

Great, now we know, that the right libcurl is loaded.
Next step is to get some verbose information about your download problem.
Please run the following commands:

cd("c:\\Temp")   #or another folder where you can write to
using Downloads
url = "https://github.com/JuliaBinaryWrappers/GR_jll.jl/releases/download/GR-v0.57.2+0/GR.v0.57.2.x86_64-w64-mingw32-cxx11.tar.gz"
open("out.stdout", "w") do sout
    open("out.stderr", "w") do serr
        redirect_stdout(sout) do
            redirect_stderr(serr) do
                Downloads.download(url;verbose=true)
            end
        end
    end
end

Copy&Paste everything from the REPL here and:
This produces the important file out.stderr with all information while downloading the GR artefact.
Copy&Paste all the content of out.stderr here.

Hopefully we get some hints whats going wrong. See you in 9h, Good Night.
