[pkg-golang-devel] Bug#852724: golang-1.7: go install -race fails with "permission denied"

[Ayke van Laethem]

Package: golang-1.7
Version: 1.7.4-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Builting a trivial package using Go fails when enabling the race
condition checker. Example code:

---
package main

import (
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println("Hello, World")
}
---

Put in src/go-hello/hello.go, built using:

    go install -race go-hello

Fails with the following error:

    go install runtime/internal/sys:
    mkdir /usr/lib/go-1.7/pkg/linux_amd64_race: permission denied

The official Go binaries do not have this problem (from https://golang.org/dl).

It looks like the race-enabled packages are not built. The directory
/usr/local/go/pkg/linux_amd64_race/ contains many packages, while
/usr/lib/go-1.7/pkg/linux_amd64_race/ does not exist.
