[pkg-golang-devel] Bug#807303: golang: NEWUSER tests fail on ubuntu (or maybe just new kernel)

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

Source: golang
Version: 1.5.1-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream

Dear Maintainer,

Tests fail in my sid chroot because, on the Ubuntu kernel at least, the tests
that try to create a new user namespace all fail in a chroot. I fixed this
upstream but it'd be nice to have this in the 1.5 packaging too so here's a
backport of the patch.

Cheers,
mwh
