looks like recently backported go 1.13 has a bug.
reported here - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang-1.13/+bug/1913852

It looks like this is an issue with 1.13 on Xenial correct? Is the 1.13 the latest version available for Xenial building?

[rbalint]

It is 1.13.8-1ubuntu1~16.04.2 , which is a backport of the latest 1.13.x version in Ubuntu:

 golang-1.13 | 1.13.8-1ubuntu1~16.04.2 | xenial-updates/universe | source, all

There is a fix in the xenial unapproved queue now.

[rbalint]

@mwhudson thanks!

[rojer]

@mwhudson thanks, confirmed that the fix works. what is the approximate timeline for its release?

[mwhudson]

@rojer the fix has just been accepted into proposed, which is actually enough (once published) to fix your needs I think as subsequent package builds will use the toolchain from proposed. Would you as reporter be able to verify the fix as described in the bug? If not, I can.

[rojer]

retried one of the failing builds but it still used the old package (...16.04.2) and failed again.

[mwhudson]

is this in a ppa? does it have proposed enabled?

[rojer]

yes it is and no it wasn't. switched to proposed and the build succeeded. thanks for taking care of this!

[mwhudson]

Great thanks. Can you share the build logs in the bug? Or here and I will paste them in?

[rojer]

here's a successful build - https://launchpad.net/~mongoose-os/+archive/ubuntu/mos/+build/21000322
it's a retry of a build that failed, i don't know if it's possible to get those logs

[mwhudson]

It might still be available from a build failure email, there's nowhere in the UI to retrieve it from unfortunately.

[rojer]

links from failure notifications point to the same log, unfortunately
