I opened PR #39 that downgrades the error while processing those to a warning, but really it'd be better if the build team would just release a fixed build IMO.

upstream screwed up, i'm not sure this is really worth a fix, it's just version 1.11.5 that's broken

Same error on version 1.10.8.

@huihuiy02 https://github.com/mgit-at/godeb has the fix to ignore paths with both gocache/ and tmp/ prefixes.
And really ignore those specific upstream problems and not just print warnings (i don't want to be bothered with those known problems in our CI chains)
