It turned out to be an expired SSL certificate. The solution was to temporarily switch to the Wolfhound HTTP repository in df-latest.conf, pkg update && pkg install ca_root_nss. After that I was able to switch back to the default Avalon repository. There was also a suggestion to use the Dragonfly AUTO repository:</div><div>AUTO: {</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>url: <a href="https://pkg.dragonflybsd.org/pkg/$%7BABI%7D/LATEST">https://pkg.dragonflybsd.org/pkg/${ABI}/LATEST</a></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>mirror_type: HTTP</div><div>}</div><div><br></div><div>To me it is still unclear why in the first place that problem at all occurred. Is it maybe that my Internet Service Provider (ISP) had an expired certificate?<br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfMessage"><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Martin</div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On 15 Apr 2024, at 7:17, Martin Ivanov <marto1980@gmail.com> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><div dir="auto">Hello,<div dir="auto">I installed the latest dragonfly release version.
