Source: golang-gopkg-stretchr-testify.v1
Version: 1.3.0-2
Severity: serious

Dear Maintainer,

It seems to me like this package is a duplicate of the already existing
golang-testify package.

I assume the duplication happened because the same component has
multiple import paths.

I asked about this on #debian-golang and got the following advice on how
it should be implemented to avoid the duplication:

zhsj
ah: same thing, that should be a bug.
make a link ./usr/share/gocode/src/gopkg.in/stretchr/testify.v1/ -> 
./usr/share/gocode/src/github.com/stretchr/testify/ and should request RM 
golang-gopkg-stretchr-testify.v1

Leaving that up to someone else who knows these things better to
implement.... Given there seems to be no reverse dependencies of this
package I'm marking this bug report as serious so that the package will
eventually fall out of testing if noone actively deals with this
situation, which I think is reasonable....

$ ssh mirror.ftp-master.debian.org "dak rm -Rn golang-gopkg-stretchr-testify.v1"
Will remove the following packages from unstable:

golang-gopkg-stretchr-testify.v1 |    1.3.0-2 | source
golang-gopkg-stretchr-testify.v1-dev |    1.3.0-2 | all

Maintainer: Debian Go Packaging Team <team+pkg...@tracker.debian.org>

Checking reverse dependencies...
No dependency problem found.
