git clone error: RPC failed; curl 52 GnuTLS recv error (-110)

Question

Since couple days I am facing this issue with git clone, I also went though similar issues on stackoverflow which didn't solve this issue. Firewall is also not present in my system. Any input on this or debug this issue will be useful.

Example while cloning the apache mesos logs (export GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 used)

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Answer 1

Is this happening with any other repo?

I did have this error before and I recompiled git to get it working again

here's some of the steps I took

sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot dpkg-dev -y
sudo apt-get build-dep git -y
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev -y
cd ~
mkdir source-git
cd source-git/
apt-get source git
cd git-2.*.*/
sed -i -- 's/libcurl4-gnutls-dev/libcurl4-openssl-dev/' ./debian/control
sed -i -- '/TEST\s*=\s*test/d' ./debian/rules
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc -us
sudo dpkg -i ../git_*ubuntu*.deb

Not using -y is ok, -y is just for skip inputting y. The result is:
