Description Graham Mainwaring 2025-07-28 22:55:34 UTC 
If you install the golang and golang-bin packages, the Go 1.24 FIPS provider is not installed under /usr/lib/golang/lib/fips140/ as expected.  This results in errors when using some combinations of settings involving GOFIPS140.  Installing golang-tests solves this problem, because the golang-tests package includes these runtime libraries.  This is counterintuitive because these libraries are not tests.  They should be included in the regular golang installation, or be a separate golang-fips140 package, or something like that.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

[graham@B83FQN3 ~]$ GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.23.9 GOFIPS140=v1.0.0 go version
go: go: unknown GOFIPS140 version "v1.0.0"
[graham@B83FQN3 ~]$ sudo dnf -y install golang-tests

[graham@B83FQN3 ~]$ GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.23.9 GOFIPS140=v1.0.0 go version
go version go1.23.9 linux/amd64

Actual Results:
Using GOFIPS140 with GOTOOLCHAIN results in an "unknown GOFIPS140 version" error

Expected Results:
The Go 1.24 FIPS140 system should work with just `golang` installed; it should not require `golang-tests`.
