This *shouldn't* break like this, but it's possible that if writing to the filesystem is very slow you have a timeout fetching the file. (The go package has a *lot* of small files and with the default mount options, creating a lot of new files on slow storage can take a very long time). It might help to mount the filesystem holding /usr/local with the softdep flag. Or you maybe able to workaround by downloading the package and installing it from local atorage rather than over the network.
