The Installation Instructions Fail

[bitshifter52]

I tried the installation instructions for "fortune" and this is the error:

curl -sL https://swee.codes/repo.sh | sudo bash

Ign:5 https://debian.pkg.swee.codes ./ InRelease
Ign:5 https://debian.pkg.swee.codes ./ InRelease

W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Not sure how to resolve this.

Please could you find a way to solve it, for us, users of Debian-based distros ?

@Jcoth : based on https://everything.curl.dev/usingcurl/tls/verify.html try adding --insecure to curl's invocation

I think https://debian.pkg.swee.codes/ is marked invalid due to a certificate error. apt update seems to suggest this. Sorry.

@Jcoth : see https://manpages.debian.org/trixie/apt/apt-get.8.en.html ; search for secu

The gpg keys could not ne acquired, forcing curl to insecure didn't work, same with apt. In the current situation, the deb repo wil remain unreachable. Sorry
