@Technetium1
Many thanks for testing and reporting. It is this issue, right? https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2979#issuecomment-583046383

I am currently redoing the image and apply the fix. Please test this:

update-ca-certificates --fresh
/DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-login

• This should then succeed with the curl command and finish firstrun setup.

If this works, no need to reflash btw, since I do nothing else with the beta image as well 😉.

[MichaIng]

🈴 Hmm above still did no work, exact solution from the other thread:

update-ca-certificates
update-ca-certificates --fresh
/DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-login

However this should not make any difference 🤔...

[MichaIng]

@Sudrien
I tried to fix it on the image for a while now but cannot get it working. I saw your find about the *.0 symlinks and indeed I cannot get them to be created. Tried to reinstall all related packages, configuring and update-ca-certificates --fresh several times, re-checked config files are default etc.
This last command was all that solved it for you, did I get this right?

[MichaIng]

Okay I think I found it. Those symlinks are named by the certs hashes and those are used/required by some programs, i.e. curl. Strange is that openssl rehash does not (in my case) do what it should, which is likely the reason reinstalling/re-configuring all these packages does not resolve it. Instead what works for me is c_rehash, which recreates the hash symlinks and fixes curl...

[Sudrien]

@MichaIng Yes, update-ca-certificates --fresh was the only thing I needed to do from command line

[MichaIng]

@Sudrien
Probably it has something to do with the systemd-nspawn container, not sure. However I just uploaded the fixed image. But no need to reflash, when having it fixed manually.

[Technetium1]

@MichaIng Thank you for fixing this! I can confirm that it worked!
