What should a naive user of Julia 1.6.3 under macOS 12.0.1 do to fix curl_easy_setopt error?

[murrayE]

I'm just a naive beginning Julia user, not a developer of the Julia language. When trying to update Julia packages with Julia 1.6.3 under macOS 12.0.1 (Monterey), I'm getting error:

    (@v1.6) pkg> up
        Updating registry at `~/.julia/registries/JuliaComputingRegistry`
    ┌ Error: curl_easy_setopt: 48
    └ @ Downloads.Curl /Users/julia/buildbot/worker/package_macos64/build/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v1.6/Downloads/src/Curl/utils.jl:36

      No Changes to `~/.julia/environments/v1.6/Project.toml`
      No Changes to `~/.julia/environments/v1.6/Manifest.toml`

What should I do to fix this?

Duplicate of #42814, JuliaLang/Downloads.jl#149 etc. Should be fixed on master and the fix is coming to 1.6.4 and 1.7.0.

But what should I do meanwhile, while waiting for julia 1.6.4?

@staticfloat did you ever find a workaround for this?

You could maybe use Julia 1.5 until the new 1.6 is out (we should prioritize getting that out) from https://julialang.org/downloads/oldreleases/. Alternatively, you can download the latest 1.6 that will be somehwat similar to 1.6.4 from https://s3.amazonaws.com/julialangnightlies/assert_pretesting/mac/x64/1.6/julia-cacca70b31-mac64.dmg
