This error comes up when you don't have the ca-certificates up to date. Likely you can work around this by adding the ca-certificates package as a dependency or by disabling strict checking as Dirk mentions. I think on the other platforms you must be getting luck that the certificates are being pulled in by transitive dependencies. However it is a build dependency and as such should be listed.

Hi Isaac,

the error message could either be related to the reason you described (which is less likely since the used git seems to be newer) or it could be the case that the cert can not be verified.
For the second reason you could try to call git with GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY / http.sslVerify being disabled.

This is just a guess though.
It is not likely that we will look into the problem more since your package is trying to fetch external resources during the configure phase.

Despite that I might repeat myself: this is highly unrecommended behavior (as mentioned to you several times before).
You might seriously reconsider your workflow - a package following the recommendations will not have the problem in the first place.

Hello releasers,

I need a help. A package I'm maintaining (hrpsys_ros_bridge) has been
failing to build since 2 weeks ago ONLY ON Groovy-Quantal (other
combination seems to be fine in G, H).

# And I think the failure of this is blocking the next Groovy sync batch).

    -- catkin 0.5.86
    -- Using these message generators: gencpp;genlisp;genpy
    error: Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?) while
accessing https://github.com/PR2/pr2_controllers.git/info/refs
    fatal: HTTP request failed

Tracking down the link in the error message, ultimately I get the
following link that was posted in 2011 and says version of git is the
problem.
https://github.com/blog/809-git-dumb-http-transport-to-be-turned-off-in-90-days

However, git is new enough in the error log from the buildfarm.

    Setting up git (1:1.7.10.4-1ubuntu1) ...

Any idea is appreciated.
Isaac
