I am using Timex (Which is fantastic) but each day when I compile for the first time I get the following error:

It seems to be a problem with checking for updates in tzdata but I have not been able to fix it. Is or has anyone seen this error?

It’s a very common occurrence with tzdata. If you don’t need constant TZ updates, you can turn it off with
config :tzdata, :autoupdate, :disableddimitarvp
I can’t remember properly now but I believe this was a bug that is already fixed. Try upgrading Timex to its latest version?

The problem is not with checking the updates per se, it looks like a misconfiguration in hackney.
