It says that Ubuntu is missing "something". Do you know what is supposed to be missing?

Comment 2 Nicolas Mailhot 2018-03-29 08:29:16 UTC
I haven't the faintest idea. I agree upstream is not terribly constructive. They are a core Go project which is used by pretty much every major Go app, from their pow they are the reference, linux distros are a nuisance, users should be dissuaded from using them.

I hoped it would be clearer to you, or that you had the right creds to make them tell what is wrong.

Comment 3 Jakub Čajka 2018-03-29 08:37:52 UTC
My assumption(based on the wording they use) is that upstream of the said project expects some versions(shared, with race detector...) of the pre-built stdlib, and don't check for its availability in its testsuite. Possibly they don't even know what they need.

But I wanted to be clear that for example Ubuntu/Debian don't patch out something from the Go as we did in the past with elliptic curves. I'm not that familiar with them.

Comment 4 Jakub Čajka 2018-03-29 09:08:57 UTC
I can't reproduce this issue with versions of package directly go get from upstream on top of F27 and rawhide.

Could you provide reproducer or step by step guide how to reproduce this issues?

Comment 5 Nicolas Mailhot 2018-03-29 11:30:47 UTC
Created attachment 1414723 [details]
Failing spec

Attaching the spec (the test is currently disabled since it fails, just enable it and rebuild the spec)

For a complete build env you need to copy from https://arekh.ddns.net/rpm/lolita-rawhide/ with the password previously sent by PM (but it may contain too many packages for your needs) or use https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nim/More_Go_Packaging/ (if it has finished building everything sirupsen uses)

Comment 6 Jakub Čajka 2018-04-03 07:01:12 UTC
Thanks, could you please post future bugs with step by step way to reproduce without any external dependencies(or significantly minimized, not dependent on your black box linux distro as it is not by definition bug in Fedora, and I will not support it, but in your distribution). It is courteous and will save both of us lots of time and it makes me actually able to help you. Template for the BZ is there for a reason. 

I have looked in to it a bit more and it reproduces also in Fedora not only in your distro. It seems that dropping the hardening flags(relro) make the issue go away. It is possible that the issue lives somewhere in between Go and ld. I will dig deeper in to the issue and code.

Comment 7 Jan Kurik 2018-08-14 11:07:10 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle.
Changing version to '29'.

Comment 8 Elliott Sales de Andrade 2019-02-11 12:20:33 UTC
This is not a bug in Go, but in the test case: https://github.com/sirupsen/logrus/pull/752/files.
