Something has changed recently in the Github Actions environment and the
golang metapacakge resolves to something that no longer exists:

Update metadata before installing, which fixes things.

Seems like the current Ubuntu image has a stale apt cache?  It's good
practice to update before we install anyway.

Thanks, Roger.

Thanks, and yeah.   As chance would have it, the problem resolved itself
in this mornings run, but we should take the patch anyway.

A couple of weeks ago, they did strip out one of the versions of Go, but
it wasn't the version of Go we were trying to use.  But in hindsight,
that doesn't mean that the metadata was kept properly up to date.
