build failed under Debian Buster

[kairaven]

What is affected by this bug?

build of the dnscrypt-proxy binary. The build process aborts with:
# vendor/github.com/kardianos/service ../vendor/github.com/kardianos/service/service_linux.go:66:6: isInteractive redeclared in this block previous declaration at ../vendor/github.com/kardianos/service/service_aix.go:75:29

When does this occur?

after the command
go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o $GOPATH/linux-amd64/dnscrypt-proxy

Where does it happen?

after
/opt/git/dcp$ export GOPATH=$PWD
/opt/git/dcp$ cd src/dnscrypt-proxy/
in /opt/git/dcp/src/dnscrypt-proxy

How do we replicate the issue?

sudo aptitude install git golang

mkdir /opt/git/dcp
cd dcp
git clone https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy src
export GOPATH=$PWD
cd src/dnscrypt-proxy/
go clean
go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o $GOPATH/linux-amd64/dnscrypt-proxy

It is only tested with the current stable version of Go.

Looks like Debian has a pretty old version of the compiler. Messing with GOPATH hasn't been necessary for quite some time.

Releases are built with:

cd dnscrypt-proxy
env CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -mod vendor

Also this error seems to be in a 3rd party package (kardianos/service) not in dnscrypt-proxy. So bugs should be reported and fixed there.

Thx for you info. After installing go 1.13 from the Debian testing repository, all works fine (with the mentioned command and without errors regarding kardianos/service).
