[pkg-go] Bug#850335: golang-goyaml: FTBFS (failing tests)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:golang-goyaml
Version: 0.0~bzr50-1
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -B"
but it failed:

This is just how the build ends, not necessarily the relevant part.

I've put several build logs here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/golang-goyaml/

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.

The bug should be reproducible with sbuild on a single CPU virtual machine.

Thanks.
