fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed

Question

I have googled and found many solutions but none work for me.

I am trying to clone from one machine by connecting to the remote server which is in the LAN network.

Answer 1

This worked for me, setting up Googles nameserver because no standard nameserver was specified, followed by restarting networking:

sudo echo "dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/network/interfaces && sudo ifdown venet0:0 && sudo ifup venet0:0
