I'm running MacOS 10.13.6 with Sublime 4126. I don't get a crash dump, just the message box saying

Package Control

There are no packages available for installation

Please see https://packagecontrol.io/docs/troubleshooting for help

This used to work as I still have packages before it stopped.

From Tools>Command Palette menu, enter Package Control: List Packages. This works.

I went to that page and turned on debugging. It can't find the json file it expects but I can go to the URL and access the file with a browser or curl. I emailed the developer directly but he hasn't responded.

Installing Sublime 3211 and installed Package Control. Package Control: Install works on V3. I emailed the developer directly and he hasn't responded.

What I find very strange is the log referencing python 2.7 because ST2 uses python 2.6, but I am not even a Mac noob.

Which version of Package Control do you use? It seems out dated as the current 3.4.1 doesn't contain an ./package_control/deps/oscrypto/_osx/ folder.

That said, the error looks like some os related APIs have changed on Mac, which cause this failure.

[mvilain]

It's definitely version related. I don't have this problem with Sublime 4 on MacOS 15.2. But on both my MacOS 10.13.6 systems, it stopped working.

I have the same issue, and it used to work properly. I haven't had any MacOS updates ever since it was working, and I am on v. 12.1 Monterrey. I wonder why it just stopped working like that.

[mvilain]

On my 10.13.6 systems, it stopped working but on the 10.15.2 system I have, it's OK. I wonder if it's something to do with the encryption the site is using. I can access the json file just fine with my browser, wget, and curl, so something in V4 isn't working right. V3 is fine.

Which OpenSSL version do you have installed on your systems (as its oscrypto which affects it)? Mine is 3.0.1 14 Dec 2021

[mvilain]

My system is running Apple's version of OpenSSL

$ openssl version
LibreSSL 2.2.7
$ which openssl
/usr/bin/openssl

Are you still experiencing this

[FichteFoll]

What I find very strange is the log referencing python 2.7 because ST2 uses python 2.6, but I am not even a Mac noob.

Iirc, ST2 on mac used the system Python instead of a bundled one, but since ST2 hasn't seen an update in a long time, I wouldn't put my money on that still working.

@ralmeida, please use a more up-to-date version of Sublime Text, e.g. build 4126.

[deathaxe]

ST2 doesn't work anymore since python 2 was removed from MacOS. There have already been several topics in forum about that. With EOL of py2, ST2 is out of order as well.

[FichteFoll]

Closing the issue since it's not a problem with Package Control.
