go: .../testdata/malformed_macho: Premature end of data, possibly corrupt file

Reported by: dershow Owned by: ci42

Component: ports Version:

Port: go

Description

go seems to install fine. But, when Macports does a binary scan after, I see this:

--->  Cleaning go
--->  Scanning binaries for linking errors
Warning: Error parsing file /opt/local/lib/go/src/cmd/vendor/github.com/google/pprof/internal/binutils/testdata/malformed_macho: Premature end of data, possibly corrupt file

I had go installed fine, and started seeing this parse error recently. I tried to uninstall and reinstall it, and get the same error. I'm not sure exactly what this error means, and if it is really a problem with the go port or not.

Given that the file is called testdata/malformed_macho I would assume it's a deliberately malformed Mach-O file used for testing purposes. So no surprise that rev-upgrade can't parse it.

If the file is not needed by go at runtime then I guess it could simply not be installed to avoid such user confusion.

So, what's the path forward on this? Would the maintainers remove the offending file from the port?

In 98df7c03566a792aa747e47e0868545dfb8af92a/macports-ports (master):

go: update to version 1.12.1

Don't install malformed Mach-O file which is for testing purposes
only, but can't be parsed by rev-upgrade.
