grpc: "cannot find zipfile directory in one of gmock-1.7.0.zip" error

Using the below command to build grpc:

git clone -b v1.0.0 --recursive https://github.com/grpc/grpc.git &&     cd grpc/third_party/protobuf &&     ./autogen.sh && ./configure &&  make -j8 && make install &&     cd ../.. &&     ldconfig &&     make -j8 && make install &&     cd /tmp &&     rm -rf /tmp/grpc

Getting this error:

Google Mock not present.  Fetching gmock-1.7.0 from the web...

  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of gmock-1.7.0.zip or
        gmock-1.7.0.zip.zip, and cannot find gmock-1.7.0.zip.ZIP, period.

It used to build fine ~1 week ago.

FWIW, I’ve worked around the issue by patching the sources with the fix from master as below. The “curl … | patch …” command does the trick.

RUN cd /tmp && \
    git clone -b v1.0.0 --recursive https://github.com/grpc/grpc.git && \
    cd grpc/third_party/protobuf && \
    curl -o- https://github.com/google/protobuf/commit/bba446bbf2ac7b0b9923d4eb07d5acd0665a8cf0.diff | patch -p1 && \
    ./autogen.sh && ./configure &&  make -j8 && make install && \
    cd ../.. && \
    ldconfig && \
    make -j8 && make install && \
    cd /tmp && \
    rm -rf /tmp/grpc

Hmm, could someone fix the last stable 3.0 release so you can build without patching? It’s a single cherry pick to make the new release.
