Thank you for the input, Łukasz. I agree and went with the second approach.
After adding the wrappers I found a second issue which caused the build to fail. This was fixed by pulling the upstream patch from https://github.com/grpc/grpc- go/commit/82e9f61ddde02833789fdca2123b576151db8654. With the two patches the package built successfully on disco and the simple test case mentioned in the bug description also passed. I will attach a debdiff based on 1.6.0-3ubuntu0.19.04.1 and update the bug description to include a [Regression Potential] section. ** Patch added: "golang-google-grpc-ftbfs.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang-google-grpc/+bug/1828230/+attachment/5264232/+files/golang-google-grpc-ftbfs.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1828230 Title: FTBFS due to too new golang-goprotobuf-dev To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang-google-grpc/+bug/1828230/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
