I've seen this line more than once in debian/control, in the
Build-Depends field:
golang-go (>= 2:1.10~) | golang-1.10-go,
However, and related to
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=891892, I tried to
replace this line with simply:
golang-1.10-go,
This actually fails the build: installing only golang-1.10-go does not
create the symlink '/usr/bin/go', therefore calling 'go' fails.
So what would be the correct way to force a version of go ? Wouldn't it
be simply:
golang-any (>= 2:1.10~),
(notice that I don't even use golang-go anymore, I just use golang-any
which seem to be the right way from what I understand).

Arnaud
