--- Begin Message ---Source: golang-1.7 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? * What was the outcome of this action? * What outcome did you expect instead? *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** Golang 1.7 has recently been made available in jessie backports. However, it is not installable in armel (and possibly other architectures) because the golang-1.7-go package is missing for it. In turn this is due to a failure in building golang-1.7-go (see https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=golang-1.7&suite=jessie-backports#problem-1) The issue is that, as a consequence of the above, if one had previously installed golang 1.6 from the backports, then spurious information about the availability of package upgrades is constantly showns. For many days now, the system has been indicating that 4 packages are upgradable (the 4 golang packages), when in fact, no one can be successfully updated. This makes the information that the system automatically provides on updates at best useless and at worst confusing and misguiding unnecessary actions. I would suggest removing golang 1.7 from jessie-backports for those architectures where it cannot be installed anyway because some part of it cannot be built (at least until it can be built). -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: armel (armv5tel) Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-0.bpo.2-marvell Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)

--- Begin Message ---Hi Sergio, thanks for your report. This issue is now fixed with a new upload, so golang-1.7 is available in jessie-backports on all architectures now (or within the next few hours, as buildds catch up and mirrors are synchronized). -- Best regards, Michael
