This is only about libcurl. Libcurl expects that a user (i.e. a programme linking with libcurl) sets the certificate bundle. This happens in different ways in different applications. Libcurl purposefully ignores the usual environment variables, because those are meant for the “curl” command line tool only. There also is no bug report in the bug tracker. Instead of demanding an answer to why this hasn’t “simply” been fixed, I encourage you to (re-)read the previous discussions about this: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-01/msg00516.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2014-02/msg00245.html -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
