So apparently I had long ago set to not always verify https with git. Obviously bad and stupid. But apparently the cause of this, at least for me.

git config --global http.sslVerify true fixed

For me it works as expected (glide 0.10.2)

@oleksandr-minakov thanks for your reply.
when you ran that command, do you have a empty 'glide.yaml' file ?
i have configured git to use a proxy

git config --global -l
http.proxy=http://proxy.of.ourcompany:80
http.sslverify=false
https.proxy=http://proxy.of.ourcompany:80

and i ran the command behind our company proxy. did glide get use proxy settings to detect vcs type?

@redhatlinux10 Can you try this again? A couple days ago gopkg.in was having some issues.

mattfarina on 1 Jun 2016

i tried and failed again.

Is https://gopkg.in blocked by the China firewall?

mattfarina on 2 Jun 2016

According to this site, no.

franciscocpg on 2 Jun 2016

But golang.org is blocked. It has something to do with?

franciscocpg on 2 Jun 2016

According to that site github.com is blocked. That would be a problem.

i was using a HK proxy, my git was using it, and my firefox can visit https://golang.org and https://github.com well with this HK proxy.

Have came cross the same issue and I'm quite certain that it was caused by the GFW

Same issue on rPi trying to build http://github.com/gogits/gogs

Interestingly, it works for other gopkg.in libraries just not these.

any update on this? with 0.12.3 I get a slightly different error message that I'm pretty sure has the same underlying cause

[WARN] Unable to checkout gopkg.in/yaml.v2 [ERROR] Update failed for gopkg.in/yaml.v2: Unable to get repository [ERROR] Failed to checkout packages: Unable to get repository

I've got the same error. What has been changed?

delphinus on 9 Nov 2016

I've got too.

kotamat on 10 Nov 2016

I was running into the same issue with the golang crypto, sys and net packages, but I was able to get around this by specifying the repo

- package: golang.org/x/sys
  repo: [email protected]:golang/sys.git

I have the same issue:

» glide get gopkg.in/yaml.v2
[INFO]  Preparing to install 1 package.
[INFO]  Attempting to get package gopkg.in/yaml.v2

Will do the same as @erutherford, but I guess that should be fixed in another way.
