Raco can’t install Pollen. Help!

Hello,

I´m new to Racket.

I´ve written a post in github racket because I can´t install pollen. The programs says that there is a problem with the certificates. Raco can´t install a package in Windows 10 certificate Issue · Issue #4535 · racket/racket · GitHub

I am going to write my issue here as well to see if any of you can help me to sort it out.

What version of Racket are you using?
8.7 [cs]

What program did you run?
I ran the following command:

raco pkg install pollen

What should have happened?

It should have installed the package pollen. Instead, a problem appeared. The program says that it is related to SSL.

If you got an error message, please include it here.

If anyone can give me some assistance, I will be very grateful. I really want to give pollen a shot for a project of mine.

I’m afraid I have no idea what might cause this problem on the server side.

Hello.

Yesterday night I tried like 20 times to install it and it gave me the same error over and over again.

This afternoon I tried to install it again and, surprise, it worked fine!

Thanks @mbutterick for checking it.

I will leave open the issue on racket´s github, so others might benefit from the answer that the admins might give.

Also, thanks to @joel. I saw your comment on github, but the problem was solved without any explanation.

Time to start learning Pollen to get my projects done ASAP. Xmas are almost over and work & studies will keep me busy again.
