Xgo-deb6-base docker image doesn't build on linux kernel 4.8.0

Elastic Stack Beats

When trying to package a beat, the xgo-image-deb6 docker images are built from dev-tools/packer/docker/xgo-image-deb6.

Unfortunately this currently doesn't appear to work:

It appears apt-get crashes with a segmentation fault - which is surprising, as there doesn't seem to be anything particularly special going on otherwise.

Interestingly, this does appear to work when I switch the host system to kernel version 4.3.0-1-amd64 or 4.6.0-1-amd64, while it fails on 4.8.0-1-amd64.

Does the apt-get in debian:6 simply not work under a 4.8 kernel? Is that a bug, or simply a known restriction?

I didn't see that one before. Perhaps there's some kernel bug in 4.8?

Do you need Cgo in your Beat? If not, you don't actually need the deb6 version of the images. You can also just use the newer image only if you don't need support for older systems.
