Let's Encrypt certificate expiry breaking package managers |
|
Let's Encrypt is an organization which provides free security certificates for servers and websites. Let's Encrypt provides tools to automate the installation and renewal of globally recognized certificates which is, in large part, responsible for the explosion of secure HTTPS connections becoming available for most websites in recent years. One of the Let's Encrypt root certificates expired this past week which blocks some security certificates from being recognized, especially by older networking programs and web browsers. This has affected some open source package managers with DragonFly BSD and Void users reporting their package manager no longer works due to the expired certificate. Antonio Huete Jiménez wrote for DragonFly BSD: " As you may be already aware, a Let's Encrypt root CA certificate expired today. That is causing problems with our base LibreSSL but not with the DPorts one, we don't know why yet." |
