[Docker-maint] Bug#836991: golang-doc: fails to upgrade from 'jessie': error: directory '/usr/lib/go' contains files not owned by package golang-go:i386, cannot switch to symlink

[k0d]

This is what I ended up doing.  Not sure if this is correct method but
seems to have worked.  I can now perform an apt-get update && apt-get
upgrade.

sudo rm /usr/lib/go -Rf
sudo rm /usr/share/doc/golang-doc/ -Rf
sudo mkdir /usr/lib/go
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

Cheers!
