Bug#911864: lintian gives E: statically-linked-binary for golang project's binary
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.110
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
According to #718404, golang packages aren't supposed to give an error of statically-linked-binary because
all go language packages are apparently statically linked. And yet attempting to build
https://notabug.org/themusicgod1/panicparse/
with debuild -us -uc -b gives this error:
Now running lintian golang-notabug-themusicgod1-panicparse_0.0~git4417700b5a-1_amd64.changes ...
E: golang-notabug-themusicgod1-panicparse-dev: statically-linked-binary usr/bin/panic
(/usr/bin/panic is generated from go code)
(incidentally, this happens on both debian & ubuntu)
what should happen: lintian should either not raising this error, (unless the issue is on golang's end for
producing static binaries)
