Cannot pull from crates.io on mint linux 20.3

[JonathanWoollett-Light]

Problem

On new install of mint 20.3 when attempting to run cargo install rusty-hook I receive

jonathan@jonathan-pc:~/Projects/testint-setup$ cargo install rusty-hook
    Updating crates.io index
error: failed to fetch `https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index`

Caused by:
  network failure seems to have happened
  if a proxy or similar is necessary `net.git-fetch-with-cli` may help here
  https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#netgit-fetch-with-cli

Caused by:
  SSL error: received early EOF; class=Ssl (16); code=Eof (-20)

Steps

1. Install mint linux
2. Install Rust curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
3. Run any cargo command which requires pulling from crates.io (e.g. cargo build on a project with dependencies or cargo install <any package>).

Possible Solution(s)

No response

Notes

I first encountered this issue with an extremely minimal set of installed applications under an hour after doing a clean install.

It's hard to remote debug. The root cause varies from platform to platform. ehuss wrote a simple guide to follow if seeing SSL connection issue, as this may be the same issue as #9113.

Also, knowing how Rust is installed is also important.

[JonathanWoollett-Light]

1. Boot from linuxmint-20.3-cinnamon-64bit.iso (https://linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=292)
2. Establish ethernet or WiFi internet connection.
3. Open terminal
4. curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
5. source $HOME/.cargo/env
6. cargo install rusty-hook

Errors:

mint@mint:~$ cargo install rusty-hook
    Updating crates.io index

I believe this is the mcve.

Thanks for the clear example!

Here are more approaches to help investigate this issue:

• Could you set net.git-fetch-with-cli and do it again? This uses system git binary instead of Cargo's libgit2.
• Are you able to clone the index registry with git binary? Something like git fetch https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index.
• Does it work with an upgrade of your system openssl (or any SSL lib)?

It wouldn't seem any of these helps resolve the problem, here is full terminal output covering these (it is too long to include directly in this comment).

[weihanglo]

From line 259-264 of your output, looks like it's a general TLS error on Linux, not only happens with Cargo.

mint@mint:~$ git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index

Having searched on the Internet, some suggest to increase post buffer size or do a apt install gnutls-bin. Maybe give it a shot?

So moving from Mint to Ubuntu fixes the issue with git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index but the issue with cargo install rusty-hook (and other crates.io operations) remains.

Same issue here. Fresh rust install, can't build hello world because it can't update from crates.io.

I've even cloned crates.io and set the default registry to that local one, in ~/.cargo/config.toml and myproject/.cargo/config.toml but it still wants to download the entire thing from scratch.

This seems to also be an issue with Ubuntu. My configuration here:

Same issue on Mac OS (13.6.3) Intel

I have the same issue in ubuntu 22.04. Interestingly, it's happening randomly. You can see an example run here https://github.com/furkansahin/frequency/actions/runs/8419571829/job/23052464174. Using git, I can easily clone and fetch the target repository, however, using cargo, it fails randomly. I could also validate that system date time is not an issue. Adding git-fetch-with-cli = true to cargo did not help either. The only solution I could find is adding retry = 5 parameter. It seems like continuous tries are solving the issue but this is not ideal. Anyone has an idea?
