maybe #38413?

Actually, Pkg is broken on Windows now: JuliaLang/Pkg.jl#2208 (comment).

See also #38070 (comment) #38070 (comment)

Of course it should not fail, but IMO these artifacts should not even be downloaded at all.

[KristofferC]

Yes, but this also fails to get the registry so it's independent of that.

In JuliaLang/Pkg.jl#2208 (comment):

ERROR: Error reading ca cert file C:\buildbot\worker\package_win64\build\usr\share\julia\cert.pem - mbedTLS: (-0x3E00) PK - Read/write of file failed while requesting...

Looks like the buildbot path gets hardcoded somewhere?

Probably https://github.com/JuliaLang/NetworkOptions.jl/blob/9b248a8c2f1f5bb80467ab222b21469079cc9ad3/src/ca_roots.jl#L45
