Hi everyone,  
I’m trying to `Pkg.update()` a project / env I’m working on and I get the following error:

```julia
ERROR: GitError(Code:ERROR, Class:SSL, Your Julia is built with a SSL/TLS engine that libgit2 doesn't know how to configure to use a file or directory of certificate authority roots, but your environment specifies one via the 
SSL_CERT_FILE variable. If you believe your system's root certificates are safe to use, you can `export JULIA_SSL_CA_ROOTS_PATH=""` in your environment to use those instead.)

```

I was working on the 1.10.2 version and tried updating `juliaup` to 1.10.3. This is the current installation info:

```julia
julia> versioninfo()
Julia Version 1.10.3
Commit 0b4590a550 (2024-04-30 10:59 UTC)
Build Info:
  Official https://julialang.org/ release
Platform Info:
  OS: Windows (x86_64-w64-mingw32)
  CPU: 8 × 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz
  WORD_SIZE: 64

```

I’ve been working in this environment for more than a 1 year and I haven’t made any significant changes recently. What might have triggered this error?

Is this environment variable set?

What is the output of `ENV["SSL_CERT_FILE"]` in Julia?

From base 1.10 i get:

Do you have an active (ana)conda environment active?

I have the same issue attempting to include a locally developed package, and yes, there is an active Conda environment running through PyCall.jl

Hi!  
Long time on this.  
In the end my issue stem from the following.  
My project env. is a OneDrive folder which I regularly use from my laptop (analysis) and a remote VM (for long simulations). The Julia version was different between the two and that screwed up the updates.

I updated both Julia installations to 1.10.4 and the issue was solved.
