HTTP 599 Error

I installed nvchecker using pipx on Manjaro (with fish shell) and when trying to use it, I'm having the following error:

unexpected error happened error=HTTP 599: error setting certificate verify locations:

I believe the certification file it wants is actually in /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt and not in /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt. I looked for a way to configure the certification location in the documentation, but could not find it. Of course I can turn the certification verification off or create a symbolic link to the right location, but I thought I should report this here.

This is an library issue: you installed the binary pycurl package from PyPI and hit this https://github.com/pycurl/pycurl/issues/834. This is why the idea of universal binaries sucks.

I'm going to use httpx by default as soon as they release a 1.0 version.

BTW, why don't you just pacman -S nvchecker?

[bigbrozer]

As a workaround, you can uninstall nvchecker with pipx then reinstall with:

pipx install nvchecker --pip-args "--no-binary pycurl"

note: in my venv, it appears a simple pip uninstall pycurl was sufficient as well :) (--pip-args was not available)

I don't remember how, but I was eventually able to install it. That's why I'm closing this issue.

Thank you all for the help anyway.
