... but after failing the install, Whateverable reports as installed (and then I had to force it to run it again to capture this virtually identical output.)

As I understand it, this is blocking Blin, which in turn is blocking a Rakudo release.

This happens even without installing.

This particular issue isn't blocking the release, but it's definitely blocking me setting up Blin so I can run the tests.

Pinning IRC::Client dependency to IRC::Client:ver<3.007010> (and removing higher versions from repos so it doesn't get loaded) worked for me. The SSL Error no longer shows and installed fine.

May be higher versions of IRC::Client will work, but I was having other dependencies errors, so I did not try other versions, since 3.007010 already worked .

Interesting. Could you make an issue for that for IRC::Client?

done https://github.com/lizmat/IRC-Client/issues/66 I'm not sure if its related to IRC::Client or its dependency IO::Socket::Async::SSL.

I did not see this issue when working with the bots in 2023. This ticket is still open though: https://github.com/lizmat/IRC-Client/issues/66. I'll keep it open for now, but I think this can be closed.
