In my initial email $GOPATH was unset. If I set distro-provided-packages first on $GOPATH, then `go get` fails with the following: $ export GOPATH="/usr/share/go:$HOME/go" $ rm -rf ~/go $ go get -u mvdan.cc/sh/cmd/shfmt package mvdan.cc/sh/cmd/shfmt: cannot download, /usr/share/go is a GOROOT, not a GOPATH. For more details see: 'go help gopath' (Note: I don't have any golang-* Debian packages installed except golang-1.10*, golang-go, golang-src, so the only distro-provided packages are the ones that ship with the go runtime. The /usr/share/gocode directory used by Debian for third-party Go packages does not exist.) If I set distro-provided-packages second on $GOPATH, then the same behavior as my initial email occurs: $ export GOPATH="$HOME/go:/usr/share/go" $ rm -rf ~/go $ go get -u mvdan.cc/sh/cmd/shfmt $ cd ~/go/src $ go list ./... | wc -l 6 $ go get -u ./... $ go list ./... | wc -l 98 Thanks for the suggestion!
