Don't despair.  It's not that I have looked at any golang packages but ...

... have a look at the `dpkg -L golang-1.7` output.  Especially anything
that has /bin/ in it.   That should give you a decent idea where the go
binary is.

Also, with versioned packages it is quite common to provide something
like go-1.7 and symlink go with something suitable (or not as seems to
be your case).

Failing that, I'd head over to /usr/share/doc/golang-1.7/ for a more
info like a README.Debian or README, whatever.

Hope this helps,

Yes, there are instructons for installation from source, and from 
binaries, which I havven't tries yet.

I had rather hoped to install from the regular Debian/Devuan packages 
but it's starting to seem hopeless.

I have it installed in windows at work.

These might be useful to you.

[DNG] How to use golang-1.7?

2017-08-17 Thread Hendrik Boom
I installed golang-1.7 and could not find golang's main executable "go".
Did not know how to set the main envvironment variables "GOROOT" and 
"GOPATH".

Uninstalled it, and installed golang, and that executable was readily 
found.   But that's version 1.3.3, which is likely quite obsolete 
considering how fast the go language aand libraries are being 
developed at the moment.

Debian jessie doesn't seem to have a golang-1.7, so I'm guessing 
it's our package (or maybe a backport).  But "go" is the main 
executable for the go language go,  so I wonder how to go about using 
it.
