Cannot fetch dependencies with mix deps.get, seeing :failed_connect error, :honor_cipher_order

[dopatraman]

Environment

• Erlang/OTP 22 [erts-10.5] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [ds:4:4:10] [async-threads:1] [hipe]
  Elixir 1.9.1 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 21)

• Ubuntu 16.04

Current behavior

When I run mix deps.get I get the following error for each dependency:

Failed to fetch record for 'hexpm/telemetry' from registry (using cache)
{:failed_connect, [{:to_address, {'repo.hex.pm', 443}}, {:inet, [:inet], {:option, :server_only, :honor_cipher_order}}]}
Failed to fetch record for 'hexpm/plug_cowboy' from registry (using cache)
{:failed_connect, [{:to_address, {'repo.hex.pm', 443}}, {:inet, [:inet], {:option, :server_only, :honor_cipher_order}}]}
Failed to fetch record for 'hexpm/plug' from registry (using cache)
{:failed_connect, [{:to_address, {'repo.hex.pm', 443}}, {:inet, [:inet], {:option, :server_only, :honor_cipher_order}}]}
Failed to fetch record for 'hexpm/ranch' from registry (using cache)
{:failed_connect, [{:to_address, {'repo.hex.pm', 443}}, {:inet, [:inet], {:option, :server_only, :honor_cipher_order}}]}

and so on. Is Hex down? Why can't I fetch anything?

Something that looks peculiar is this error:

* Getting telemetry (Hex package)

    The following arguments were given to Regex.safe_run/3:

This looks related to the hex failure though (as it cannot fetch the telemetry library). What is going on with Hex?

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Erlang and Elixir, hasn't worked.

@fertapric what do you think is causing the problem?

@dopatraman update your Hex with mix local.hex --force and you should be good to go.

We've fixed it on Elixir master by requiring newer Hex versions: #9357.

The issue is in OTP 22.1 passing this option honor_cipher_order started erroring. This also broke hackney: benoitc/hackney#591.

Closing in favor of the Hex one.

Rebuilt Elixir from source, that seems to have fixed the problem 🤔
