Maybe we can/should recognize the error message that pops up when a download fails due to certificate issues, and produce a helpful warning to a link in the EasyBuild docs in this case?
Downloads can go wrong for millions of reasons. Why catch one and include it in a warning? It already goes to the log. I think it needs to be decided whether it should go to the screen as well, or not. But I would not send one reason to screen and one million minus one to log.
I'll close this, the certificate verification failure could indeed have any number of reasons, so it wouldn't really be possible to come up with a meaningful truly helpful error message.
If anything, this issue can serve as a hint to what could be wrong.
With the expiration of the Let's Encrypt root certificate, several people are running into download issues if their
ca-certificates
RPM, or equivalent, is not up-to-date; see for example easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs#14138:Maybe we can/should recognize the error message that pops up when a download fails due to certificate issues, and produce a helpful warning to a link in the EasyBuild docs in this case?
