Looks like an MbedTLS.jl issue. Similar to JuliaLang/MbedTLS.jl#229. What happens if you do

julia> using Pkg; Pkg.activate(; temp=true);

julia> Pkg.add("MbedTLS")

if that errors then please open an issue at MbedTLS.

Hi, I've encountered the same problem today, and i tried

julia> using Pkg; Pkg.activate(; temp=true);

julia> Pkg.add("MbedTLS")

and there was no error reported.

Then I found this -- Problems installing packages - cert.pm no such file. It seems that the package from the official repositories on Arch Linux has many problems.

Warning: Package julia is compiled against system libraries and is therefore unsupported by the upstream. While it may be suitable for basic usage it is incompatible with external packages (e.g. MKL, LLVM, LLVMExtra, or packages that depend on these, like CUDA or Flux) which rely on Julia's bundled versions of its dependencies. Bugs reported against this binary will be closed. (See Julia - ArchWiki)

And julia-bin provides official builds compiled against patched LLVM libs, thus solved the problem.

So if you're also using Arch Linux, try aur:julia-bin, that works for me.

@ZephyrHeather is correct.

However this specific issue can also be fixed (for Arch at least) by simply running:

sudo ln -s /etc/ssl/cert.pem /usr/share/julia/cert.pem

[rikhuijzer]

This issue appears to be unrelated to Pluto and multiple solutions have been offered, so I'll close this.
