I have recently been setting up a Debian server with gotd and currently not able to pull from it. 
Here is a snippet from the logs. 

parent: socket: /var/run/gotd.sock
parent: user: _gotd
[warn] event_del_: event has no event_base set.
listen: listening for client connections
listen: gotd_accept: new client connected on fd 8 uid 1000 gid 1000
parent: recv_connect: new client uid 1000 connected on fd 9

repo_read /var/git/got-portable.git: chroot into /var/git/got-portable.git
repo_read /var/git/got-portable.git: chroot: Operation not permitted
parent: uid 1000: disconnecting
parent: kill -15 99094
parent: kill -15 99095
session_read /var/git/got-portable.git: session_read /var/git/got-portable.git: shutting down
listen: client disconnecting
listen: client on fd 8 disconnecting
parent: reaped pid 99094
parent: reaped pid 99095

The two things I wanted to share was gotd not able to chroot and that there is a warning from libevent. 

Thanks,
