Upgrade to Go1.12.7 problem

[Shane H]

Hi all,

I've done a bit of searching, and asked around, but not found an answer to my (most likely self-inflicted) problem.

I have been coding with Go 1.10 and 1.11 for a whiles, but I decided that it was time to join the future and upgraded to 1.12. It worked fine for the project I was creating at the time, but after some time (long enough for me to forget the steps I took to upgrade!) I discovered issues with my install.

I've tried to reinstall (Ubuntu, apt purge golang-1.* ) and reinstall, to no avail.

I need to know what I can check to stop this behaviour, sans reinstalling the OS

This is probably best demonstrated as:

Crisis over

I discovered that /usr/local/go was still version 1.11 for whatever reason Ubuntu did not update that directory when I installed go via apt/dpkg

I therefore downloaded  https://dl.google.com/go/go1.12.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz into /tmp, decompressed it, then moved the go/ directory to /usr/local (moving the old version to /usr/local/go-1.11 just in case)

This looks like you unpacked a Go distribution into a directory that
already held another Go distribution. Always unpack a Go distribution
into an empty directory.

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.

This is correct behaviour, see below.

In general it is a bad idea to mix both self-installed and
distribution packaged versions of the same program unless you are
aware of what you are doing and the likely repurcussions.

If you are now using the version of Go that you downloaded and self
installed (as indicated above) then make sure you have used apt/dpkg
to remove the Ubuntu version that you installed in the past.

More generally, distribution packages (whether apt/dpkg/rpm) do not
install into /usr/local and thus installing the Ubuntu version of Go
would not touch anything in /usr/local because, as the name suggests,
/usr/local is meant for stuff the user has installed outside of the
distribution package management system.

So if you want to switch from self installed to the Ubuntu packaged
version of Go, then it is up to you to clean up /usr/local of any
previous non-dpkg installs of Go.
