You could well be right, I think (from my perspective) the bigger issue is managing a Go installation on Ubuntu. The binary was updated correctly but, for whatever reason, the distribution? wasn't touched, not by the install, not by the purge. It was only that I found a helpful page dealing with a similar complaint, by googling the later error "does not match go tool version", that I discovered that the distribution was out of sync with the binary. It can't be affecting too many other people, else I would have found more pages of people looking for help with the first error, before posting here. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
