LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var is breaking curl commands to HTTPS url about yacron

[gjcarneiro]

It looks like this LD_LIBRARY_PATH value is being set by PyInstaller, which is the method used to generate self-contained executable for yacron.

As a workaround, try adding this config:

defaults:
  environment:
    - key: LD_LIBRARY_PATH
      value:

Alternatively you would have to install yacron with the Python method (pip or pipx) as documented in the README.

I would like to fix this by default even for the PyInstaller case, but I don't know what is the best solution yet, so I am going to leave this bug open.

On one hand, we could have yacron unconditionally unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH. However there could be conceivably a use case where a user sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the environment of the shell that runs yacron and expects this env. var. to propagate to sub-commands.

Ah, I see that when LD_LIBRARY_PATH was defined in the environment before PyInstaller starts, it is saved as LD_LIBRARY_PATH_ORIG, so that we can restore it. Same with LIBPATH and LIBPATH_ORIG. And getattr(sys, 'frozen', False) can be used to determine if we're running under PyInstaller. Reference: https://pyinstaller.org/en/stable/runtime-information.html
