[pkg-go] Bug#840311: golang-google-cloud: FTBFS in testing (failing tests)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:golang-google-cloud
Version: 0.0~git20160615-3
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The relevant part of the build log is included above.
(If you need a full build log, just say so).

The part saying "haven't completed after 100ms" suggests that the test
expects a certain task to be completed in a certain time. This is not
a good idea for a Debian source package because there is not a
guarantee anywhere that the CPU performance of a given autobuilder
remains constant while the package is being built. The same machine
could be doing other things in parallel.

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and affects, so that this is still visible in the page for
this package.

Thanks.
