Thanks a lot for investigating! The problem with removing this 'right now' is that there are a few (important) reverse-dependencies and reverse-build-deps that this package has.

$ reverse-depends golang-github-boltdb-bolt-dev  
Reverse-Depends
* golang-github-blevesearch-bleve-dev
* golang-github-hashicorp-nomad-dev
* golang-github-hashicorp-raft-boltdb-dev
* golang-github-influxdb-influxdb-dev


$ reverse-depends golang-github-boltdb-bolt-dev -b
Reverse-Testsuite-Triggers
* snapd

Reverse-Build-Depends
* docker-libkv
* etcd
* go-dep
* golang-github-blevesearch-bleve
* golang-github-hashicorp-raft-boltdb
* influxdb
* nomad
* snapd
* vuls

Can simply replacing the dependency in all of them with bbolt work?
This may also need upstream patching in the future.
Please let me know

Kind Regards,
Nilesh
