  Getting the exact same issue here. I'm on Debian Wheezy.

  apt-get remove golang
  apt-get autoremove
  
  Reinstall go, but from source (http://golang.org/doc/install/source), then update your GOROOT=/folder/to/go and GOPATH=/folder/to/go-ethereum.
  
  Then from that new go-ethereum folder, run go get -u github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum
  
  Worked for me on Ubuntu Server 12.04.4 amd64

  I followed the instructions for installing Go but still get the following -
  
  # go get -u github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum
  # github.com/syndtr/goleveldb/leveldb/journal
  /usr/lib/go/src/pkg/github.com/syndtr/goleveldb/leveldb/journal/journal.go:163: function ends without a return statement

  are you sure you are using go version 1.2? You can check it with "go version"

  Am I only getting GO version 1 and not version 1.2 because I'm using 12.04LTS and not a newer version of *buntu? I don't really want to update my distro until the new LTS is out in April.
