Dear maintainer,

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gccgo-go : Depends: g++-14 but it is not going to be installed
            Depends: gccgo-14 but it is not installable
E: Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting assignments:
   1. gccgo-go:loong64=2:1.26~1 is selected for install
   2. gccgo-go:loong64 Depends gccgo-14
      but none of the choices are installable:
      [no choices]
Command apt-get --dry-run install -- gccgo-go exited with exit code 1.

   * Remove gccgo-go metapackage and deprecate golang-any
 .
     In short, gccgo is currently (and has been for a while now) an incomplete
     implementation of Go 1.18, which is no longer suitable for building most
     software in the Debian archive, and the version of the "gccgo-go"
     metapackage has been misleading for several releases.
 .
     (see https://bugs.debian.org/1123912#10 for longer-form thoughts)
 .
     Closes: #961916, #1123912, #1140566
 .
   * Remove "gover.pl" helper (replaced with a d/rules one-liner)
 .
   [ Dr. Tobias Quathamer ]
   * Update Standards-Version to 4.7.4, no changes needed
   * Add debian/salsa-ci.yml with standard recipe
   * Remove debian/gitlab-ci.yml
