@cpg could you try this https://github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql/issues/638#issuecomment-316270431 ? Let me know if this helps.

Oh! turns out go 1.7 is not supported (https://github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql/issues/831#issuecomment-403451499) for mysql driver. You need to update golang to a newer version on your system.

that's the latest in f25.

or compile in f27 and release it in f25, hoping it will work (and if not, piss off many of our users).

[csoni111]

Don't install go using yum or dnf, instead manually download the latest compiled tar.gz for linux from https://golang.org/dl/ , unzip and place it into /usr/local. Finally update the PATH variable to access from anywhere. ref.

@cpg this can be closed if resolved.
