Research direction

Look at the installer's download logic, likely in a Python script, to see how it locates SSL certificates. Check if it hardcodes the path '/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt' and consider making it fall back to 'ca-bundle.crt' on Fedora. Test the fix by simulating the missing file scenario.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We had a user on Fedora Linux whose install failed as python couldn't find the cert for downloading:

i've looked more carefully into the terminal log and it seems that ssl certificates are at fault? " Failed to load trusted CA certificates from /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt. Cause: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory"

The user resolved the issue by manually copying the file to the right location

just now i went into into etc/ssl/certs/ and there was only a file called ca-bundle.crt and i copied it and named the copy ca-certificates.crt and tried insaller again

I'm just noting this down for now, no action taken.
