journalbeat install failing with:

go get [github.com/mheese/journalbeat](http://github.com/mheese/journalbeat)  
package context: unrecognized import path "context" (import path does not begin with hostname)

Downloads OK, but something is messed up somewhere. other "go get" commands working, such as downloading & running the "hello" example.

Thanks for any pointers.
