* ubuntu 22.04
wp 6.0.1 WP-CLI: 2.6.0 curl 7.81.0-1ubuntu1.3 php 8.1.7
* Updating any plugin with the cli tool or from the browser throws the same error.
For instance:
* ```
wp-content/plugins $ wp plugin update header-footer-elementor

* However, if I try to download the plugin manually using the https url, it works:
curl [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/header-footer-elementor.1.6.12.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/header-footer-elementor.1.6.12.zip)–
