[piotrek-szczygiel]

Looks like go package hasn't been updated to 1.14 yet

[Morganamilo]

That's a partial upgrade. Don't do that.

[felipemarinho97]

The gcc-go package from core repo is currently at 1.12, so this doesn't necessarily means that's a partial upgrade.

[felipemarinho97]

A workaround is install the go package, update Yay ant then reinstall gcc-go.

[Depado]

Workaround:
yay --editmenu -S yay
Edit the PKGBUILD and replace -modcacherw with -mod=readonly in the EXTRA_GOFLAGS section. Worked for me thanks to menta on the AUR page of yay

[webdawg]

Anyway to avoid this in the future.

[Jguer]

-mod=readonly makes yay unable to clean the repository after installing which is why I don't recommend it outright unless you know the implications

[fiskhest]

I had the same issue even though pacman told me that go 1.14 was installed. Checked PATH and which binary I was actually using, and found out that I was using a go binary installed by linuxbrew.

❯ type go
go is /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/go
❯ go version
go version go1.12 linux/amd64

After removing the go-binary installed in brew, installation started working:

❯ brew remove go
...
