I can't really explain why you are seeing this, our CI runs on the same architecture....

FYI these errors were hit when trying to package 1.6.0 for archlinux (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/loki/)

Thanks for the additional info, I'm still a bit stumped here but will try to take a closer look next week!

Arch Linux builds with Go 1.15, maybe it has an incompatible change?

[slim-bean]

Ooh that's an important detail, we haven't moved to 1.15 yet, 1.6 has only been built and tested with 1.14

We'd like to get loki and logcli updated... do you need any extra info from us?

Are we safe to ignore these test failures to get 1.6.x out to arch users?

With 2.0.0, one test failed, which is now disabled in the Arch package build. https://gist.github.com/jelly/5c0f5db0e8e64169de51e60e29226510

@jelly How did you disable the test? The arch package is still on 1.5.0.
