Missing cert on Fedora Linux

[drojf]

We had a user on Fedora Linux whose install failed as python couldn't find the cert for downloading:

i've looked more carefully into the terminal log and it seems that ssl certificates are at fault? " Failed to load trusted CA certificates from /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt. Cause: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory"

The user resolved the issue by manually copying the file to the right location

just now i went into into etc/ssl/certs/ and there was only a file called ca-bundle.crt and i copied it and named the copy ca-certificates.crt and tried insaller again

I'm just noting this down for now, no action taken.

Another user on openSUSE Leap 15.1 reported the same issue:

Failed to load trusted CA certificates from /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt. Cause: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory

Edit: The FAQ has an article about it now: http://07th-mod.com/wiki/Installer/faq/#linux-download-stage-fails-failed-to-load-trusted-ca-certificates

There are two somewhat viable options:

1. Bundle cacert.pem (e.g. https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html ). It's somewhat messy and requires maintenance, but viable, given that trust store doesn't update that often, and certs tend to be cross-signed anyway.

2. Try to find path for CA trust file first and then pass it on as argument to aria2c. There aren't that many locations for them.

Thanks for informing me about this bugmen0t. I opted to try the second option (applied in https://github.com/07th-mod/python-patcher/commit/2450fcc89d9eae0511aa02d359bbec9b1252c2df), which is applied in the v1.1.23 installer.

I won't close the issue yet as I'm both not sure if the fix will work for everyone, and I haven't tested the fix myself on a linux system
