CKAN stuck at downloading ".../CKAN-meta/archive/master.tar.gz"

[TheBlueHat1]

Background

• Operating System: Win11
• CKAN Version: 1.31.2
• KSP Version: KSP 1.12.4.3187

Have you made any manual changes to your GameData folder (i.e., not via CKAN)? No

Problem

Describe the bug Whenever launching CKAN and agreeing for automatic repository updates, it immideately gets stuck at said file and the process freezes, cancelling mid-process would result in an error window (see code)

Steps to reproduce

• open CKAN in the .../common/kerbal space program directory
• agree to auto updates
• See error

Expected behavior CKAN finishes auto-updating and downloading the file

Screenshots (if applicable)

CKAN error code (if applicable):

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
