Problem with Package Control under Big Sur 11.1

[schanzentroll]

Hi there & happy Xmas,

I’ve installed Sublime on a Mac (late 2020, Big Sur 11.1) via homebrew:
arch -x86_64 brew install sublime-text

After that I tried to fix a Package Control (There are no packages available for installation) issue with the instruction from https://packagecontrol.io/installation

Unfortunately that didn’t worked. After manually downloading Package Control.sublime-package and copying it into the Installed Packages/ I got an error in the console when trying to load Package Control: Install Package

Maybe anyone knows how to fix this? This is the error message:

Package Control: Error submitting usage information. URL error [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor downloading https://packagecontrol.io/submit?sublime_platform=osx&sublime_version=3211&package_control_version=3.4.1&package=Package+Control&version=3.4.1&operation=install.

Does this also happen if you download ST from our website instead of installing it through brew?

Hi Benjamin,
yes, this also happens with the dmg file from the website. I them tried to clean every file with app cleaner:

But after second download from sublimetext.com it showed the error message again:

Error installing Package Control: HTTPS error encountered, falling back to HTTP - <urlopen error [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor>
Error installing Package Control: HTTP error encountered, giving up - <urlopen error [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor>
error: An error occurred installing Package Control
Please check the Console for details

I was having the same issue. Turns out my firewall was blocking all connections from Sublime Text. Disabled it and it was all fixed.
