Likely #706, can you try removing ~/.esy/opam-repository?

[ManasJayanth]

@andreypopp That didn't help. rm -rf ~/.esy didn't help either.

On MacOS, the following is seen,

[andreypopp]

The error is different now though. Does the following command works for you:

'git' 'clone' '--branch' 'master' '--depth' '1' 'https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository'

We need to make sure we retry multiple times and fail with a good error message.

[ManasJayanth]

Yes, I'm able to clone the opam repo on my mac (where the error was seen)
