Not able to build the AMDVLK

[Gustavo Oliveira]

Hi, I am trying to build the AMD Vulkan driver following these instructions on Ubuntu

https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK/blob/dev/README.md

But keeps failing as below. Not sure if the problem is the repo. Any clues how I can get passed this?

thank you very much.

This looks like a problem with either your git package or your repo package. Can you try updating your repo to the latest available version and see if this fixes the issue?
The commands are at the very bottom of the repo page: https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo
