Error Opening Plugins

Hobbygirl · 10-04-2022, 09:58 AM

When I try to open the plugins I get the following error:

calibre, version 6.6.1
ERROR: Update Check Failed: Unable to reach the plugin index page.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre\gui2\dialogs\plugin_updater.py", line 432, in __init__
File "calibre\gui2\dialogs\plugin_updater.py", line 71, in read_available_plugins
File "calibre\utils\https.py", line 194, in get_https_resource_securely
File "http\client.py", line 1454, in connect
File "ssl.py", line 512, in wrap_socket
File "ssl.py", line 1070, in _create
File "ssl.py", line 1341, in do_handshake
ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:997)

This is just since the latest update.

Thanks.

That looks like a corrupted install the only way for that to fail is if the file calibre-ebook-root-CA.crt is gone from the calibre installation resources directory. Try doing a re-install.
