Please describe the problem.

On Rocky Linux 9 (and therefore on the HPC Systems at FZJ) with git-annex installed using the standalone package (either directly or through pixi/conda-forge) I am getting this error message from git annex pull:

# git annex pull origin --no-content
pull origin 
fatal: unable to access 'https://hub.datalad.org/distribits/recordings.git/': Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)
ok

What steps will reproduce the problem?

dnf update -y
dnf install -y wget git
cd /opt
wget https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/git-annex-standalone-amd64.tar.gz
tar xzvf git-annex-standalone-amd64.tar.gz
ln -s /opt/git-annex.linux/git-annex /usr/local/bin
cd /tmp
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git clone https://hub.datalad.org/distribits/recordings.git
cd recordings
git annex pull origin --no-content

Saved as reproducer.bash this can be easily tested using:

podman run --rm -it docker.io/library/rockylinux:9 bash < reproducer.bash

What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
