Next time, please give more details; telling us the Go import path would help because we need to see the actual code to be able to investigate and offer a solution. Lacking that information, my random guesses and suggestions are: 1. Check debian/control and see if "Rules-Requires-Root: no" is set (now inserted by default by dh-make-golang). Either remove that line, or, better yet, set it explicitly to "binary-targets", see https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#rules-requires-root 2. Skip the test(s) that require root access, just like how we skip the tests that require Internet connection. Hope this helps, Anthony
