[pkg-go] Bug#793518: Bug#793518: Bug#793518: FTBFS: TestString fails: ini_test.go:167: Dict cannot be stringified as expected.

[Michael Stapelberg]

Chris, thanks for the explanation, that makes sense! I totally missed the
fact that there were not-yet-uploaded changes in git.

Tim, I just tried packaging the new upstream snapshot, and the fix you got
upstream to merge was indeed not enough. My first guess is that exampleStr
requires section1 and section2 to be serialized in order, but Dict.format()
does not sort the keys when iterating over the map.

It’s surprising that this hasn’t caused issues elsewhere yet.

So, yes, if you could work with upstream on a proper solution and then we
could just package a new upstream snapshot, that’d be great.
