python312-requests can not find certificates

[Brian Inglis]

Looks like python312-requests can not find certificates:

$ units_cur
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/units_cur", line 52, in <module>
     import requests
   File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/requests/__init__.py", line 158, in 
<module>
     from . import packages, utils
   File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/requests/utils.py", line 35, in <module>
     from . import certs
   File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/requests/certs.py", line 15, in <module>
     from certifi import where
ImportError: cannot import name 'where' from 'certifi' (unknown location)

where before, there were only empty directories, and after reinstall:

$ l /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/certifi*/
/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/certifi/:
__init__.py  __main__.py  __pycache__/  core.py  py.typed

/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/certifi-2026.1.4.dist-info/:
direct_url.json  INSTALLER  licenses/  METADATA  RECORD  REQUESTED 
top_level.txt  WHEEL
$ units_cur
$

so could lack of new packages python312-certifi or other upgraded dependencies 
cause some issue with install/upgrade of python312-requests, or maybe just some 
install/upgrade/download glitch with mirror?
