Lots of (possibly bad) output when installing go binaries

[robdimsdale]

On ubuntu: (Linux yeti 4.4.0-47-generic #68-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 26 19:39:52 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux). When running the ./install script, I see the output below from the golang binaries section.

The exit code was 0 so I don't know if this is a problem, but it looks unexpected.

What version of go do you have on this machine?

[robdimsdale]

1.7.3 but when i just ran git pull && ./install it seems to be working fine now. I did not change the version of go nor do anything like rm -rf $GOPATH/pkg $GOPATH/bin. I'm not sure why the behavior changed.

[luan]

Humm. The output you pasted before seems to point to go get not having the -u flag, which doesn't make a lot of sense, unless you somehow have a broken go get.

If you feel like this is resolved feel free to close the issue at your convenience, otherwise we should try to find a way to reproduce this.

[robdimsdale]

Huh. I don't know so I'll close this issue now. Thanks for taking the time to dig into it.
