I am running Sublime on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit. I have tried installing Package Installer on Sublime Text 3 using both the simple script and manual installation methods.

Whenever I try to run the Install Package option I get an error message "There are no packages available for installation"

The console shows the following trace:

Package Control: Error downloading channel. b'curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations:\n  CAfile: /usr/lib/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt\n  CApath: /etc/ssl/certs' downloading https://sublime.wbond.net/channel.json.
error: Package Control
There are no packages available for installation

If I add http://sublime.wbond.net/repositories.json as a channel, install package starts showing the package list. But, when I try to install a package (e.g. Pretty JSON) I again get an error related to the security certificate with the following console trace:

Any suggestions to get Package Control to work with the secure channel are welcome.

Had the same issue today. Reinstalled package control:

...namely

  1. Click the Preferences > Browse Packages… menu
  2. Browse up a folder and then into the Installed Packages/ folder
  3. Download Package Control.sublime-package and copy it into the Installed Packages/ directory
  4. Restart Sublime Text

Worked like charm!
