At startup, pkglint determines the current username, to match it against
the OWNER or MAINTAINER of a pkgsrc package. This fails here.

To track this bug down, you can try the following minimal Go program:

cat <<EOF >u.go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os/user"
)

func main() {
	println("before")
	u, err := user.Current()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(u)
}
EOF
go121 run u.go

If that fails as well, use ktrace to see why it fails.
