Description David Brown 2014-05-21 05:25:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
Version 1.2.2 of golang moved the 'golang/pkg' directory from /usr/lib64/golang to /usr/lib/golang.  The godoc utility is still searching in /usr/lib64/golang, and as a consequence doesn't find any documentation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
golang-godoc-0-0.3.hg17c8fe23290a.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  godoc fmt

Actual results:
2014/05/20 22:24:28 open /usr/lib64/golang/src/pkg/fmt: no such file or directory


Expected results:
documentation of the 'fmt' package on stdout

Additional info:
I can work around this with:
  GOROOT=/usr/lib/golang godoc fmt
Comment 1 Victor van Poppelen 2014-06-18 01:11:13 UTC 
I keep running into this bug too.

Quick hack:

    su -c sed -i 's/\/usr\/lib64\/golang/\/usr\/lib\/\/\/golang/' /usr/bin/godoc
