I can't fetch v8 because of error "Error: Command 'download_from_google_storage --no_resume --platform=linux* --no_auth --bucket chromium-clang-format -s v8/buildtools/linux64/clang-format.sha1' returned non-zero exit status 1 in /root/v8"

When I try "fetch v8" I get:

What is the problem?

I also should mention I use an ARM-based board(Nanopi-M1) that has Armbian 5.30(Ubuntu-server 16.04) on it(arm7-sun8i).

That's strange, I tried on a RaspberryPi I had close by and didn't see
an issue. It does take quite a while to finish however (it took ~30 min
for me). I tested this using ArchLinux Arm instead of Armbian but that
should not make any difference AFAIK, apart from the default python
version.

For reference, here are the steps I did. You shouldn't have to do the
virtualenv2 part unless the default python isn't python2.
~~~
mkdir v8; cd v8

virtualenv2 env # depot_tools need python2, you shouldn't have to do
source env/bin/activate # this on Ubuntu I believe.

git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
export PATH="~/v8/depot_tools:$PATH"
fetch v8
~~~

Finally, it mentions `/root/v8` in the error message, are you running
`fetch v8` as root?

Thanks,
Pierre
