Julia fails to clone repository

[xtalax]

I have just installed a new version of linux (Manjaro) and am trying to get julia up and running again.
When using Pkg to install, I am hit with the following error:

Cloning default registries into /home/tharsis/.julia/registries
Cloning registry General from "https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git"
ERROR: LoadError: failed to clone from https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git, error: GitError(Code:ERROR, Class:SSL, SSL error: 0xffff8880 - SSL - A fatal alert message was received from our peer)

I got a similar problem to the first using Pkg.clone() on my previous installation - all issues I could find were using a proxy of some kind - I am not.

I manually cloned the registries, and tried again, and was able to successfully install a few packages.
But when I try to install Atom, I am hit with the following:

Pkg.add("Atom")
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:
 * Atom (not found in project, manifest or registry)
Please specify by known 'name=uuid'.

I used a workaround that others had used in previous versions to avoid this issue, but when I try to continue I get the first error message again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have very much enjoyed learning and programming Julia, and am excited to get back to it :)

I was able to fix the problem by creating the ~/.julia/environments/v1.0/ directory, and touching Project.toml and Manifest.toml within, and creating ~/.julia/registries/.

Julia appears to be failing to create the environments directory in arch based distributions (see another issue here)

Does anyone know where julia attempts to create these directories so I can take a look?

Duplicate of your own issue at JuliaLang/Pkg.jl#1013?

[fredrikekre]

Eh, it was the Pkg issue that was duplicate of this. I got confused with two identical issues. Lets discuss over there though.

Yes, this is definitely a Pkg issue, not a Julia issue.
