kitty @0.24.2: SSL error on running +kitten themes

[curtosis]

See ​https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/3936 for description and symptoms of original bug on 0.23; was fixed in 0.24.2 binary builds but still broken on macports.

I can't reproduce your problem myself. Try reinstall kitty:

port uninstall kitty
port install kitty

[judaew (Vadym-Valdis Yudaiev)]

everything works correctly for me

[curtosis]

Hmm.. do you by chance already have curl-ca-bundle installed when testing? That might have been the problem for me.

[judaew (Vadym-Valdis Yudaiev)]

I have curl-ca-bundle installed. You don't see this error with curl-ca-bundle port?

[curtosis]

Yes, I just confirmed:

port uninstall curl-ca-bundle
kitty +kitten themes                        # error
port install curl-ca-bundle
kitty +kitten themes                        # no error

At first glance it seems like it should depend on curl-ca-bundle, but given that it only breaks a particular +kitten function that might be beyond the expected semantics of a dependency.

Keep in mind that all dependencies on curl-ca-bundle should be written as path:share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt:curl-ca-bundle, so that the ​certsync port can satisfy the dependency.

Thanks for the warning. I wrote about it on a mailing list. There is a possibility that this problem is in Python. Ubuntu appears to have a similar issue with the SSL module in Python. Python does not require certificates to build, but the SSL module does not work properly without them.
