release: Go 1.7.3 fails to install on El Capitan #17531
Comments
I'm not able to replicate this on 10.12.1. @jferrer21 Can you please attach the log from your installer? When the install fails, you can choose |
Hi Quentin, Below is the log. Oct 20 11:37:22 Rebels-Mac-Pro Installer[436]: Installation checks succeeded with warnings. |
I had no issues installing the .pkg on 10.11.6 |
I'm having the same issue with 1.7.3 with the same error message on 10.11.6 (and a very similar log). I was upgrading from 1.7.1, however now even trying a reinstall of 1.7.1 results in the same error. I'd tried manually removing /usr/local/go, so my log is slightly different, but in case it helps: Oct 26 22:16:27 lt-cgelatt-mac Installer[28905]: LSExceptions [0x7f884b60c400] loaded |
/cc @broady, if this means anything to you. I assume this might still affect some users for Go 1.8. |
Doesn't mean anything to me. @jferrer21 @Kreeblah - did this happen for previous installers, too? Like 1.5.4? Does it happen with 1.6.4 (released this week)? |
I found these: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=80023 This suggests that sometimes the package installer gets messed up by the /tmp -> private/tmp symlink being lost or not having the right permissions or something. It's not clear whether this is the problem for this report. The superuser.com link has some commands for "repair_packages" that sound promising. |
@broady I actually can't replicate it now, even on the versions that were failing before. I'm still on 10.11.6, so I'm not sure what changed. |
Can anybody reproduce this? |
This should have had a "WaitingForInfo" label. Given that we are way past supporting 1.7.x and it's been more than a year since anybody has commented on the issue, I will go ahead and close this. @jferrer21 - If you still face similar issues with 1.10.x or 1.11.x, please do feel free to open a new issue. |
