hottdogg · 02-21-2020, 08:20 PM

I am running OpenSuse Leap 15.1.
I want to update my go programming language pacage from 1.11 to the latest what the repo have.
But the system said it's already updated the go package where in fact it's not.

Code:

# zypper refresh; zypper update go

Go versioning seems to be rather unusual, but

Code:

sudo zypper rm go1.11
sudo zypper in go1.12

ought to fix you up.

You can install differnet Versions and switch with update-alternatives to the one, you want to use

Code:

update-alternatives --config go 
There are 2 choices for the alternative go (providing /usr/bin/go).

  Selection    Path                      Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/lib64/go/1.7/bin/go   30        auto mode
  1            /usr/lib64/go/1.7/bin/go   30        manual mode
  2            /usr/lib64/go/1.8/bin/go   30        manual mode

Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:
