Public bug reported: Platform: Ubuntu 14.04, ppc64le (Power 8 LE), git version: 1:1.9.1-1 When accessing a public repository over HTTPS, I get the following error: $ git clone --no-checkout https://git.fedorahosted.org/git/lvm2.git lvm2 Cloning into 'lvm2'... fatal: unable to access 'https://git.fedorahosted.org/git/lvm2.git/': gnutls_handshake() failed: A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.
Accessing the same public repository from a different machine running in a different network - also Ubuntu 14.04, but running on x86-64, the commands executed with no errors. Both platforms have the same git version (dpkg -l | grep git) I checked online for an explanation. Found this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/186847/error-gnutls-handshake-falied-when-connecting-to-https-servers According to that, Gnu TLS may have some issues when proxies (firewalls?) are present on the network path to the repositories. The recommended solution is to rebuild git using OpenSSL instead of TLS. I tried it and got to a different error ("Unknown SSL protocol error"). Can you please fix git to make it work correctly? ** Affects: git (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: git (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** No longer affects: pycurl (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pycurl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1397685 Title: git gnutls_handshake() failed: A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.
