[Bug 1375887] [NEW] golang package not building go-gtk though manual go install builds it

[Jeff]

Public bug reported:

There is seemingly a packaging bug for go 1.3 in various distributions,
MacPorts, Ubuntu, etc., whereby certain packages build fine when go 1.3
is installed from the source or binary packages at
http://golang.org/dl/  but fail when fail to build when using the golang
package.

It’s an issue for Pond  https://pond.imperialviolet.org/  that
cyptoparties run into  https://github.com/agl/pond/issues/123  which is
why the Ubuntu installation instructions for Pond begin "First, install
Go. The packaged version of Go (usually called golang) is unlikely to
work.”

I’ve noticed that mattn’s current go-gtk package examples work : https://github.com/mattn/go-gtk
while the Adam Langely’s go-gtk package examples do not : https://github.com/agl/go-gtk/
So maybe that’s a useful target for git blame or something.

Best, Jeff
