Hello Detlev,

I've given up trying to install the documentation in the IDE. I'm not 
seeking advice, and I thank you for your time, I'm just letting you know 
what the state of eric is for me now.

Removing the "s" from "https" results in a never-ending loop. I'm 
informed that the URL has changed and that I have to select "update". 
I'm then back to where I started with a TLS initialisation error because 
the URL has changed back to "https".

As an experiment I've installed eric6 19.01 (the only version available) 
from the Ubuntu repositories with exactly the same result. All of the 
dependencies, recommendations and suggestions have been satisfied. So, 
as you suggest, there is an incompatibility somewhere.

Eric is still useable in it's basic form and, by the way, I had no 
problems with version 17 which I installed from the eric web site and 
not the Ubuntu repositories.
