> Additional info:

The root cause for this bug is that we are now using Go 1.13
and it uses go modules to for to compile the sources unless
we explicitly set GO111MODULE to 'off'.

A fix that disables GO111MODULE:
https://code.engineering.redhat.com/gerrit/#/c/201060/1

Currently there is an outage in Brew so we can't get new builds.

Created attachment 1690641 [details]
disable GO111MODULE during the build

Verified that with a scratch build we get the values as expected:

[root@7b05b5f26f48 /]# virtctl version
Client Version: version.Info{GitVersion:"v0.29.1", GitCommit:"3452204c267b9c29492e2afc3c18761ee42a17e6", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2020-05-21T13:20:50Z", GoVersion:"go1.13.4", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}


I merged the patch, let's wait for official build and verification from QE.
Moving the bug to MODIFIED.

verify with build:
$ virtctl version
Client Version: version.Info{GitVersion:"v0.26.1", GitCommit:"e40ff7965e2aadbf21131626dfa3be85524e3a2c", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2020-02-19T16:13:09Z", GoVersion:"go1.11.5", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
Server Version: version.Info{GitVersion:"v0.30.0", GitCommit:"736b4aec6b2e92f2ab09ccfa6c5eb79366e88e5a", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2020-06-08T21:28:27Z", GoVersion:"go1.13.4", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
