Upgrade to 1.17.13

[dann frazier]

[Impact]
Ubuntu's golang-1.17 is several minor releases behind upstream (1.17.6 vs. 1.17.13). These releases provide a number of critical bug and security fixes. The upstream policy and full list of changes are available here:
  https://go.dev/doc/devel/release

There is no specific issue for which I am requesting this update, rather it seems like this should qualify under:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#New_upstream_microreleases

[Test Case]
Upstream provides an upstream test suite that is executed at package build time.

[What Could Go Wrong]
Critical bug and security fixes sometimes introduce regressions themselves.

Hello dann, or anyone else affected,

Accepted golang-1.17 into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang-1.17/1.17.13-3ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

I see that the build-time run of the upstream-provided tests was successful, so marking verified.

Since I guess 1.17 is not the default in jammy, could someone also do a manual install of it and check if the compiler works?

[dann frazier (dannf)]

Sure:

ubuntu@dannf-golang:~$ cat > hello-world.go
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
    fmt.Println("hello world")
}
ubuntu@dannf-golang:~$ export PATH=/usr/lib/go-1.17/bin:$PATH
ubuntu@dannf-golang:~$ go version
go version go1.17.13 linux/amd64
ubuntu@dannf-golang:~$ go build hello-world.go
ubuntu@dannf-golang:~$ ./hello-world
hello world

ubuntu@dannf-golang:~$ dpkg -l | grep golang

The verification of the Stable Release Update for golang-1.17 has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

This bug was fixed in the package golang-1.17 - 1.17.13-3ubuntu1

---------------
golang-1.17 (1.17.13-3ubuntu1) jammy; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1990893). Remaining changes:
    - 0001-cmd-link-check-CGO_CFLAGS-for-non-g-I-O-options-befo.patch
      disable internal linking when dynamically linking and CGO_CFLAGS
      contains flags that might make host object files that the internal
      linkers ELF reader does not support. This fixes lots of package builds
      when LTO is enabled by default via dpkg-buildflags.
    - d/rules: Add NO_PNG_PKG_MANGLE to prevent a test file from being
      compressed.
