Hi Sebastian,

It seems I'm really bad at go tooling as well (this just goes to show)
what I used:

rm -rf .cache/go-build
git clone https://github.com/zyedidia/micro.git
cd micro
gmake

after this it was working. What I did not realize that there is ALSO a
pkg cache in ~/go/pkg and I had made changes there to make it work

rm -rf .cache/go-build
rm -rf go
git clone https://github.com/zyedidia/micro.git
cd micro
gmake

and it is no longer working as you showed.

Changes made are described here:

Embarrassed greetings
