Description:
The rclone package has a runtime dependency on gcc-go.
Shouldn't that be a build-time dependcy only? This conflicts with packages depending on "go".

Additional info:
* [rclone] 1.24.20151108-1

Steps to reproduce:
Install rclone, try to install go. See conflict.

I'm suggesting to move libgo to gcc-libs ( FS#47031 ), so we can get rid of the conflict here.

I've compiled rclone with go (ie only needs buildtime dep) and it seems to work fine. Why do we need gcc-go here at all?
Comment by Felix Yan (felixonmars) - Thursday, 17 December 2015, 09:47 GMT
Because gccgo is meant to do more optimizations and produce smaller binaries.

The conflict is no longer an issue since 1.25-2.
