compile git with openssl instead of gnutls

build-git.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Clear out all previous attempts
rm -rf "/tmp/source-git/"

# Get the dependencies for git, then get openssl
sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot dpkg-dev -y
sudo apt-get build-dep git -y
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev -y
mkdir -p "/tmp/source-git/"
cd "/tmp/source-git/"
apt-get source git

# We need to actually go into the git source directory
# find -type f -name "*.dsc" -exec dpkg-source -x \{\} \;
cd $(find -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "git-*")
pwd

# This is where we actually change the library from one type to the other.
sed -i -- 's/libcurl4-gnutls-dev/libcurl4-openssl-dev/' ./debian/control
# Compile time, itself, is long. Skips the tests. Do so at your own peril.
sed -i -- '/TEST\s*=\s*test/d' ./debian/rules

# Build it.
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b

# Install
find .. -type f -name "git_*ubuntu*.deb" -exec sudo dpkg -i \{\} \;

Works flawless. Used this to circumvent usage of gnutls which didn't work on servers that disabled TLS v1.0 and v1.1.
Now it uses SSLv3 instead, thanks to OpenSSL.

Everything worked, except the very last command. On the very last command I get

find .. -type f -name "git_*ubuntu*.deb" -exec sudo dpkg -i \{\} \;

Anything I can do, to get around this error? Thanks.
I tried doing and got

sudo apt install git-man

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 git : Depends: git-man (< 1:2.17.0-.) but 1:2.17.1-1ubuntu0.11 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I even ran and got

apt --fix-broken install
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?

Thoughts?

@nojiratz / @ddelange If you go to https://github.com/niko-dunixi/git-openssl-shellscript you will find the original script that this gist was from. I haven't had a chance to look at the problems you're facing (since I don't have ownership of this individual gist), but more people will benefit from raised Issues and Pull Requests at the originating repo.

@nojiratz I had exactly the same issue. In case if it is still relevant, I solved the issue by running apt install git -y && git remove git -y beforehand.
