[pkg-golang-devel] Bug#859583: golang-1.7: ftbfs due to tzdata change

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

Package: golang-1.7
Version: 1.7.3-0ubuntu1~ppa0~ubuntu16.04.1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Dear Maintainer,

tzdata 2017a-1 broke one of the Go tests:

--- FAIL: TestParseInLocation (0.00s)
	format_test.go:263: ParseInLocation(Feb 01 2013 AST, Baghdad) = 2013-02-01 00:00:00 +0000 AST, want 2013-02-01 00:00:00 +0300 +03
FAIL
FAIL	time	2.550s

It has been fixed upstream so I will backport the patch (and file an unblock
bug once that's built).

Cheers,
mwh
