I'm hitting the same issue trying to patch browserpass v2.0.9.

MWE:

with import <nixpkgs> {};

stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
    name = "browserpass";
    version = "2.0.9";

    src = fetchzip {
      url = "https://github.com/dannyvankooten/browserpass/releases/download/${version}/${name}-linux64.zip";
      sha256 = "1nygcfjhyrcvbdmz4hjphcnmr4lm9y24lpdkdcjix6vbsjs0hipw";
      stripRoot = false;
    };

    buildPhase = '':'';

    libPath = lib.makeLibraryPath [ ];
    installPhase = ''
      set -x
      patchelf --set-interpreter ${stdenv.glibc}/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 browserpass-linux64
    '';
}

Fails with

Have you tried patchelf master? or #127 applied?

[flokli]

@domenkozar I tried patching another go binary with both patchElfUnstable and 127.patch on top and bartosh/master.
In both cases, patchelf's complaint message now looks slightly different:

patchelf: cannot find section ''

But it of course still doesn't work.

[amckague]

Building from #149 I was able to patch the go binary being downloaded as part of bazel-contrib/rules_go#1376 where previously patchelf would return cannot find section ''

I can't reproduce this anymore on master:
