I encounter this error using Julia 1.9.0 when adding a local package. The whole error message is

```julia

```

But on the same machine (Debian), I have no problem running `wget https://pkg.julialang.org/artifact/4883a6685d86b068da934537a444a6d170d71730` and get the file within seconds.

I tried again with julia 1.8.5 and the same problem happens. I think it is somehow related to my company network.

I tried the same thing on a Windows laptop, on the same network, and it works. No downloading problem. I tried again on a Ubuntu 20.04.6 laptop, same error message as before.

I managed to manually install this artifact by using `Pkg.Artifacts.download_artifact()` function, along with information found in the `Artifacts.Toml` file in [Ghostscript\_jll.jl](https://github.com/JuliaBinaryWrappers/Ghostscript_jll.jl) GitHub repo.

First, download the tarball using another method, then spin up a local server, serve the tarball at `http://localhost:port/filename`, then use this url as one of the arguments in `download_artifact()`
