I am trying to use the Genie web framework and I get the following error when I try to use it on my Arch Linux: julia> using Genie [ Info: Precompiling Genie [c43c736e-a2d1-11e8-161f-af95117fbd1e] ERROR: LoadError: InitError: SystemError: opening file "/usr/share/julia/cert.pem": No such file or di…

Ok, my educated guess is that you installed the package from the official repositories, which is well known to have plenty of problems: Julia - ArchWiki . Evidence: the error message is pointing to MbedTLS.jl/ssl.jl at 0c02e44ed96bf09ce3b9fb649db5914f629c2812 · JuliaLang/MbedTLS.jl · GitHub and th…

[image] jdarnold: when I try to use it on my Arch Linux How did you install Julia on Arch Linux?

Thanks, that sounds like it. Pretty sure it is the “official” package. I will use the AUR bin one. Edited to add: Yup. Just installed julia-bin and using Genie works fine. Thanks again.

Is Julia trying to do its own crypto, by any chance? (a scary thought). I have the same error (while trying to use HTTP package) with Julia 1.8.3 on Gentoo Linux, compiled from source. If several different Linux packagers get this wrong, something might be fishy…

[image] dimpase: Is Julia trying to do its own crypto, by any chance? (a scary thought). No? [image] dimpase: If several different Linux packagers get this wrong, something might be fishy… Agreed, I guess none of them runs the tests, which would fail if the file is missing .

I see this error on Gentoo via a different package, MbedTLS (or HTTP). As a matter of fact, Fedora packages MbedTLS as a dependence of Julia, and all works there.

But why does Julia even want to deal with CA certificates directly? Isn’t all what’s needed already in libcurl (to which it talks via LibCURL_jll, as far as I understand)? Anyhow, if needed, curl provides functionality to deal with CA certs, e.g. curl - Extract CA Certs from Mozilla , curl - SSL CA …

Julia is using MbedTLS and the version of LibCURL distributed with official Julia is linked against MbedTLS: JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/blob/3573c32ce13a40902477be7993fa0bf8fe377f35/L/LibCURL/common.jl#L65 # On Darwin, we need to use SecureTransport (native TLS li…

Still, having an explicit /usr/share/julia/cert.pem is a security issue. In case it is not a symbolic link to someplace managed by the OS, but a file, it will be vulnerable to problems with CA certificates such as the recent TrustCor story . On my Fedora 34 system at work, /usr/share/julia/cert.pem …
