I am a little stumped by this error I am getting when trying to init an AOSP repository (I've previously been able to use the repo tool to init in the past):

I have tried reinstalling the repo utility, but it didn't help. Any tips? I am using Ubuntu 20.04 with all the updates installed. This system has been working fine for the past few days, and I have successfully built other images on it. I was able to clone this repository this morning to another dirve on the same machine.

The permissions for the folder where I am making the repo init are as follows:

PS: I have also tried with sudo privileges, but nothing. The same issue shows up.

Thanks in advance for your kind help.

EDIT: I have tried on a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS. Still the same issue is seen.

Found the answer. There are issues with the version up on snapcraft store (more details here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapstore-server/+bug/1882296).

As @Wilson-q mentions "The workaround is to remove the snap git-repo package, and install repo directly from the google source site.".

That worked. I wish there was more noise around this however.

You can install it manually.

$ mkdir -p ~/.bin
$ PATH="${HOME}/.bin:${PATH}"
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/.bin/repo
$ chmod a+rx ~/.bin/repo

Check if tmpfs mounted at /dev/shm. if not, just mount it by:

mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /dev/shm

Modify folder permissions

chmod -R 777 folder
