I cleared the cache with:
# rm -fv /var/cache/cgit/*

 You can test CGit from the command line to rule out a misconfiguration
> in the web server:


There is no "cgit" binary in the ubuntu package:
# apt-file list cgit
cgit: /etc/apache2/conf-available/cgit.conf
cgit: /etc/cgitrc
cgit: /usr/lib/cgit/cgit.cgi
cgit: /usr/lib/cgit/filters/about-formatting.sh

cgit: /usr/share/doc/cgit/changelog.Debian.gz
cgit: /usr/share/doc/cgit/copyright
cgit: /usr/share/man/man5/cgitrc.5.gz

Is this a package building issue?

Also, I've taken a look at the build process, and there seems to be a
discrepancy between the Ubuntu cgit package version (1.1+git2.10.2-3build1)
which appears to have been built with git 2.10.2 and my own self-built
version of git (2.18.0-1). I should probably try to build cgit myself.

Note that for testing you should try something like:
>
>         about-formatting.sh README.md <README.md
>

On the *git client*:
# ./about-formatting.sh ${repo_path}/README.md <${repo_path}/README.md

This is an *almost perfect *translation.
I say almost because the following lines are shown at the same level:
*README.md*
- on a **desktop system**:
  + Press Alt+F2 and type ```update-manager -c``` into the command box.

*Converted into:*

​
On the* git server*, the README.md file is not directly accessible, so
there is the following setting for the corresponding repo in cgitrc:
readme=:README.md
