Does anyone have idea how to fix it?
Thanks a lot!

What operating system?

Also, are you using the official binaries downloaded from JuliaLang.org?

3

Its Ubuntu 18.04 & official binaries

4

Seems related to LibGit2.set_ssl_cert_locations segfaults on a cluster · Issue #17789 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub

You may want to comment on that issue.

Haha an old issue.

The workaround is

$ julia

julia> import LibGit2

julia> LibGit2.set_ssl_cert_locations("/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt")

The workaround has to raise an error first, so there is no good way to put them in the startup script.
