There are no packages available for installation.

[andreieftimie]

When trying to install Packages i get the following error.

The log from the command line:

Package Control: Error downloading channel. URL error _ssl.c:480: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol downloading https://sublime.wbond.net/repositories.json.
error: Package Control: There are no packages available for installation.

I have very recently updated Sublime Text 2 to the latest build 2181

[wbond]

Are you running through a proxy?

The latest version of Package Control runs everything through SSL and verifies SSL certificates to prevent man in the middle attacks. From googling around, it appears that error can be caused by a proxy that does not property handle HTTPS urls.

[Simcat]

I also have the 'Package Control: There are no packages available for installation' issue.
No proxy at all here. I have also turned off my modem firewall.

I'm new to Sublime and Package Control. I'm hanging out to use Zen Coding and just have to move past this issue.
Any help trouble shooting greatly appreciated :)

(Sublime beta build 2126 ~ OSX 10.6 Airport - Provider, Sonic Internet)

[andreieftimie]

Thanks Will.
I was using a proxy (http://www.charlesproxy.com/). All working perfect now.

[wbond]

@Simcat it sounds like you have a separate issue. Please open a new issue. Also, check your console (ctrl+`) for Package Control error messages.

[dustinmartin]

FYI, I just started getting this same error. Here is the error from the console. Worked great an hour ago then restarted ST and it seems to be failing now.

Package Control: Error downloading channel. URL error _ssl.c:480: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol downloading https://sublime.wbond.net/repositories.json.
error: Package Control: There are no packages available for installation.

[wbond]

@dustinmartin The new version of Package Control uses HTTPS for security. Are you using a proxy? From Google I think that error message is a proxy error.

[dustinmartin]

Yes, I'm using a proxy. The company I work for has one and there is no option to not use it. Is there a way to disable HTTPS in Package Control? I realize there are security issues there but if there is no other resolution...

BTW, when did Package Control get updated to start using HTTPS?

[wbond]

Yeah, but that will only help downloading the channel file and any of my packages. All of the packages on GitHub and BitBucket require SSL, which is probably about 250 of the 257 packages.

To do this you need to set the repository channels in your Settings - User file to:

"repository_channels": [
    "http://sublime.wbond.net/repositories.json"
]

I have have an idea about how to fix this, but I won't be able to test it or release a beta version until later tonight or tomorrow.

[avataru]

I have the exact same problem, with exactly the same error message. Unfortunately I cannot disable the proxy since it's required for internet traffic. I've talked to the network administrator and he said there's nothing he can do about it.

While I understand it's not a Package Control bug it turns it useless so I'd like to ask you to add a setting so it works like the old version of Package Control. It worked perfectly yesterday until Package Control updated: I wanted to install 3 new packages, I installed the first two then I used the update all action and after that I wasn't able to install or update anything.

Edit:
When adding the repository like in your comment above I noticed that the other repositories I manually added were https and they worked fine until now:

"repositories":
[
    "https://github.com/filmgirl/TextMate-Themes",
    "https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme"
]

[4ll4n]

Same problem here. Work proxy with expired security certificate.

Package Control: Error downloading channel. URL error [Errno 8] _ssl.c:480: EOF occurred in violation of protocol downloading https://sublime.wbond.net/repositories.json.

[avataru]

This might help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3777075/https-github-access

However the issue might be related to the new SSH certificate policy enforced on GitHub due to the exploit that was discovered a few days ago.

[dustinmartin]

@wbond Have you been able to look into this any further? Thanks.

[Simcat]

I am torwlly stuck at this point.

I have looked into it, but between my day job and family over the past few days I have not had the time to implement a solution or test it.

If someone else wants to take a whack at it, I think we should try changing the ssl protocol being used. If you edit lines 68-71 of Package Control.py to be the following, this may help:

            self.sock = ssl.wrap_socket(sock, keyfile=self.key_file,
                                              certfile=self.cert_file,
                                              cert_reqs=self.cert_reqs,
                                              ca_certs=self.ca_certs,
                                              ssl_version=ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1)

[Simcat]

Thanks Will for your efforts. I will hang five.

I've made the SSL protocol change but I still get an error. However, it is different than before:

Package Control: Error downloading channel. URL error _ssl.c:480: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number downloading https://sublime.wbond.net/repositories.json.
Package Control: No CA certs available for api.github.com.
Package Control: No CA certs available for api.github.com.
error: Package Control: There are no packages available for installation.

[ChristoRibeiro]

@avataru I have the same error, have you found a solution? ?

[Simcat]

Some apps my be thwarting your efforts such as Little Snitch or Peer Guardian. I think Firewalls have been mentioned early on. Good luck.

[jjanisch]

I have the same issue. I'm having to use NP++ while I can't download packages (and subsequently SFTP).

[ChristoRibeiro]

it works for me if I change these lines https://github.com/ms4py/sublime_package_control/commit/d9c19a9e167a936a614f80c50d16d67808ce0f08

with :
Sublime Text 2 64 bit portable version
Windows 7 64 bit

[jjanisch]

Bit of a problem, I only have a Microsoft folder within "C:\Users%username%\AppData\Roaming" and just Sublime_Plugin.py / PackageSetup.py (related) in Program Files. Any ideas?

[schlamar]

Try this fix, probably the same error:
https://github.com/ms4py/sublime_package_control/commit/d9c19a9e167a936a614f80c50d16d67808ce0f08

[schlamar]

@jjanisch Go to Preferences -> Browse Packages to find you package dir.

I was also getting no joy behind my work proxy:

Package Control: Error downloading channel. URL error _ssl.c:480: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol downloading https://sublime.wbond.net/repositories.json.

but applying ms4py's patch #113 solves the issue - I can now list and install packages :-)

[artlung]

I had the same issue on Windows:

Package Control: Error downloading channel. URL error [Errno 8] _ssl.c:480: EOF occurred in violation of protocol downloading https://sublime.wbond.net/repositories.json.
error: Package Control: There are no packages available for installation.

The actual cause of the error was running Fiddler2 (a web debugging proxy). I wonder if adding to the error message suggesting possible proxy or connection errors might be helpful.

[hgrubst]

I was having the same issue as Maurice described. Also behind an enterprise proxy.
I had to specify "https_proxy": "http://username:password@proxyhost:proxyport" in package control user prefs and apply the patch on the "Package Control.py" file pointed out by ms4py.
All works now :)

[tiago-g-henriques]

I was having the same problem, but similarly to @artlung it turns out the culprit was Charles, a web debugging proxy for Mac. Quitting the app solved all my Package Control problems.

[jeremysolarz]

Btw since ms4py has changed his username the url for the commit changed. The correct url is https://github.com/schlamar/sublime_package_control/commit/d9c19a9e167a936a614f80c50d16d67808ce0f08

[SEKCobra]

Hey, after toying around with the test build I am now stuck on this error:
URL error Tunnel connection failed: 407 Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied. )

No matter what I do, it doesn't seem to recognize any of the Windows Domain users that have authorization.

[wbond]

I have that bug worked out in the latest code here on github, but I need about another day to work on some variations of proxy auth for HTTPS proxies. Hopefully we are looking at a new version in a few days that should sole most of the proxy issues.

[SEKCobra]

Awesome, can't wait to use PC at work as well :)

[brijs]

@wbond, any update on your fix? I dont think it's been rolled out yet?

[wbond]

@brijs Yes, all patches have been rolled out into the stable version of PC. If you are having trouble with PC, please generate a debug log and post a new issue.

[SEKCobra]

I can confirm that it has been working for months now, very well in fact.

[ghost]

just run sublime as administrator

[gotofritz]

It has started again, OS X, as soon as I have installed build 3080. I don't have Charles or anything of the sort running, and no proxy at work. Error:

There are no packages available for installation
Package Control: Error downloading channel. URL error [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known downloading https://packagecontrol.io/channel_v3.json.
error: Package Control

[learningjs]

Getting this error today (first time ever, nothing has changed in my net, no proxy, before everything worked well ): https://packagecontrol.io/channel_v3.json is unreachable (no ping etc).

[jtnegrotto]

@learningjs I'm suddenly getting it today as well. I can load channel_v3.json, but there's nothing to see there:

{
schema_version: "3.0.0",
packages_cache: { },
repositories: [ ],
dependencies_cache: { }
}

[dsmith1717]

I had the same issue, the json was empty but I checked again after a couple of minutes and this time it contained all the data. Try again, it might work.
