Based on /usr/share/doc/git-daemon-run/README.Debian, I would be interested in: git --version dpkg -l git-daemon-run sv stat git-daemon cat /var/log/git-daemon/current It looks like the daemon is sending a malformed reply starting with "fatal: ", similar to the bug fixed by v1.7.0.3~7 (daemon: parse_host_and_port SIGSEGV if port is specified, 2010-03-20). It the error message does not provide any insight, I'd also suggest using strace or ltrace to attach to the running git-daemon process to see what's going on.
