[SOLVED]When fetching yaourt.git, weird error.
sudo git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/package-query.gityields
Cloning into 'package-query'...
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedlyThis appears even for the github-hosted variant, or anything else git-related. On a fresh install.
Any suggestions?

You don't need elevated privileges for that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle … _privilege

Re: [SOLVED]When fetching yaourt.git, weird error.
sudo git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/package-query.git
Why are you running git with root privileges?

Because I don't yet have a user for that. And I'm deliberately keeping my "daily use" user from that functionality.
Solved the issue by purging the install - had some artifacts left over from a botched install of the 'git' package in the chroot. Reinstalled *everything* afterwards to make sure there wasn't some similar issue lurking.
Solved.

Why do you want to keep your "daily use" user from using git, and why is it better for root to use git?

Re: [SOLVED]When fetching yaourt.git, weird error.
I think that Zazzman hasn't added their regular user to the sudo/wheel group. But why is sudo required with git irrespective of the user is beyond me.
