[pkg-golang-devel] Bug#841385: golang-go does not participate in alternatives, gccgo-6 stomps /usr/bin/go

[Dustin L. Howett]

Package: golang-go
Version: 2:1.7~1
Severity: important

Installing gccgo-6=6.2.0-6 after golang-go=2:1.7~1 triggers an
update-alternatives that replaces /usr/bin/go with a symbolic link to
/etc/alternatives/go.

It looks like the fix for #840190 did not coordinate with an update to
golang-go that integrates with the alternatives system.
