lookup of proxy.golang.org fails on build

[Leif Johansson]

I am building a go-based application (normal Makefile and very "standard" rules-file) in ppa:sunet/tinyq. I am getting an error that looks like the build-host can't resolve proxy.golang.go:

go: <email address hidden>+incompatible: Get https://proxy.golang.org/github.com/gofrs/uuid/@v/v3.2.0+incompatible.mod: dial tcp: lookup proxy.golang.org on 10.89.128.2:53: no such host

Full build-log here: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/475830903/buildlog_ubuntu-xenial-amd64.tinyq_0.0.1ubuntu3_BUILDING.txt.gz

The error isn't intermittent.

NB that the error in question just happens to be the first dependency that go build tries to resolve - this has nothing to do with github.com/gofrs/uuid.

The ppa:sunet/tinyq is the github.com/SUNET/tq project on github for reference.

I tried to use the golang buildsystem but the result is the same

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

You appear to have a build system that doesn't honour http_proxy. I don't speak Go - is that a sufficient clue for you to dig into that?

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Oh wait, this isn't a snap build. It is intentional that .deb package builds are not permitted to talk to the internet - you need to package or vendor your build-dependencies.

oh thats "interesting". Thx!
