Next time, please give more details; telling us the Go import path
would help because we need to see the actual code to be able to
investigate and offer a solution.
Lacking that information, my random guesses and suggestions are:
1. Check debian/control and see if "Rules-Requires-Root: no" is set
(now inserted by default by dh-make-golang).
Either remove that line, or, better yet, set it explicitly to
"binary-targets", see
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#rules-requires-root
2. Skip the test(s) that require root access, just like how we skip
the tests that require Internet connection.
Hope this helps,
Anthony
