So, we might never know. :-)

To me it looks as if your load-path may not have been complete.

It may be a good idea to establish some automatic mechanism by which the
list of available elpa packages (and thus the load-path) is refreshed if
anything changes.

Does this problem persist in a freshly-started instance of Emacs?

I can't reproduce the problem on 25.2.2.

Bug#873437: command-execute: Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, go-mode

[Jameson Graef Rollins]

Package: elpa-go-mode
Version: 3:1.5.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I don't understand the new elpa system, but for whatever reason this
packages is not actually providing go-mode for me.  When I try "M-x
go-mode" I get the following error:

command-execute: Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, go-mode

This is on emacs 25.2.1.

Please let me know if there's any more information I can provide.  Thanks.

jamie.
