Summary0002911: Cannot download data from MPC due to SSL/TLS support
DescriptionHello,

When trying to update the orbital elements for asteroids using the "Download MPC data" panel, after connecting to www.minorplanetcenter.org:443, i got "Error: 500: SSL/TSL support is not compiled".

Is this a limitation of version 4.2 (i'm using 4.2.15 obtained from the latest stable deb pkg) ?
Should I upgrade to 4.3 ?

Yes the Linux SSL library change since the version 4.2 was compiled, you need to install the last 4.3.

How do you re-install CdC (or CCDciel) from a .tar file without erasing your personal configuration ?
Loaded catalogs, in particular, will be erased if i simply replace /usr/share/skychart/cat by <downloaded>/skychart/share/skychart/cat...
Is there a specific procedure for doing this update w/o copying (or not) subdirs by hand ?

The personal configuration is not affected by reinstalling because it is in ~/.skychart/
If you overwrite over /usr/share/skychart it not remove any extra files that may be present.

But the best solution for Mint is to install with a .deb file, this manage the removing of obsolete files but still keep extra files you may have added.
The recommended procedure is described here:
https://www.ap-i.net/skychart/fr/documentation/installation_on_linux_ubuntu

Once this is done you can also install CCDciel with: apt install ccdciel

With the version 4.3 the standard way to install additional catalog is from the menu Update / Install object catalog.
But it can still use the catalog installed in /usr/share/skychart/cat

Ah. I've missed this file in the repo.
I've installed 4.3-5044 from the .deb file.
When started, it nonetheless asked me to re-install the GAIA catalogs (which where present in my 4.2 /usr/share tree.

I've checked : the install process did wipe out the existing cat/gaia* subdirs which were present in the previous installation.

This is strange, I do that very frequently and never observed that.
For me "sudo apt install skychart" keep all the extra catalog in /usr/share/skychart/cat

Even uninstalling it with "sudo apt remove skychart" keep the data, in this case it show this message:
dpkg: warning: while removing skychart, directory '/usr/share/skychart/cat' not empty so not removed

What do you meant by "it nonetheless asked me to re-install the GAIA catalogs" ?
This is expected if this is from the "Update / Install object catalog" tool because it only search the catalog in ~/.skychart , but you can activate GAIA in /usr/share from the menu Setup /Catalog.

The version 4.2 use an old version of GAIA EDR3. The version 4.3 can use the current DR3, this is what it install from the new tool.
But the GAIA catalog is still not finalized, the DR4 will be available by the end of the year.

The freshly installed 4.3 version just popped up the "Update/Install catalogs" panel at startup.
In this panel, the DR3 catalogs were qualified as "To be installed".

> This is expected if this is from the "Update / Install object catalog" tool because it only search the catalog in ~/.skychart , but you can activate GAIA in /usr/share from the menu Setup /Catalog.

Ok, I understand then.

The old EDR3 catalogs have probably been removed by the Update/Install catalogs tool itself (unfortunately, i only checked the /usr/share subdirectory _after_ the update process has started.

Anyway, this is not a problem. It just took the time to reload these catalogs. I've plenty of time : it's rainy today ;)
