[pkg-go] Bug#1010686: golang-github-boltdb-bolt: ftbfs issue on riscv64 arch

[Ileana Dumitrescu]

The golang-github-hashicorp-raft-boltdb upstream developers created a v2 version to use bbolt, but their v2 code still uses the original version which depends on boltdb [1]. I wrote an issue on their github page in January [2] but no actions have been taken. For golang, the upstream code's dependency on raft-boltdb has to be completely removed for the package to build with riscv.

I currently get FTBFS for riscv with golang-github-boltdb-bolt (1.3.1-7) and golang-github-hashicorp-raft-boltdb (0.0~git20171010.6e5ba93-3). golang-github-coreos-bbolt (1.3.5-1) successfully builds as expected.

I agree this bbolt and boltdb issue should be fixed, as there are packages like consul and nomad that also depend on it.

Yes if none of the other package dependencies depend on golang-github-boltdb-bolt-dev which would still cause a FTBFS.

Below is the error message consistently seen with this FTBFS during dh_auto_build.
