Fatal error during installation?

[mrt181]

I get this error:

Can you set environment BINSTALL_LOG_LEVEL=debug and paste the output here please?

Hello,

First, thank you for the tool, I like it a lot!

I get a similar error with the latest version of binstall. The logs do not provide a lot of information:

❯ cargo binstall procs --log-level debug
DEBUG using (/home/redacted/.cargo) as cargo home
DEBUG Using install path: /home/redacted/.cargo/bin
DEBUG run time: 1.746341ms

❯ cargo binstall -V
1.8.0

❯ cargo -V
cargo 1.80.0 (376290515 2024-07-16)

I am on Ubuntu 20.04.

Thanks, that seems strange...

It seems like we cannot create a reqwest::Client due to permission issue.

I suspect it has problem accessing the system-wide certificate/dns config.

Can you check that your user has permission to access them

[chhe]

For me it was happening because I had a cert for a custom CA under /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/ that was owned by root but not readable by everyone.

[NobodyXu]

@mrt181 Can you try using strace to find out which syscalls is causing this failure?

[FlorianGD]

I had the same fix than @chhe, one certificate in /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/ was not readable by everyone. Once the permission was fixed, cargo binstall worked again.

What is weird is that this certificate was created in 2023, but the error only happened now with the latest version. I do not think the permissions were changed, but I cannot be sure either.

Could it be reqwest or rustls changes that caused this?
