Beats make package fails with `gotpl: not found` error

Elastic Stack Beats

A bit like "make package" broken for community beats? (but topic closed so cannot edit it) but with a later commit (tried d561c30cb731ae5e14ea43f46b1a093084c96413 and more recently 36e212d5616104a4de3902071ca9b489dfdfbdc9, see PS note below) and without any custom beat in the tree: I get make package failing with the following error:

...Successfully built 67609e17ccc4

make: *** [package] Error 2

Note: I first tried to build the version from 5.4.1 and stopped / rm all docker containers before my last attempt.

How can I troubleshoot this?

PS: Basically this is what I did in my last attempt:

After more digging, here is the answer to my problem (for whoever has the same one): I was missing the ${GOBIN} or ${GOPATH}/bin (if ${GOBIN} not defined) in my $PATH
