If run go get -u, it fails with the following error:
go: github.com/golang/lint@v0.0.0-20190409202823-959b441ac422: parsing go.mod: unexpected module path "golang.org/x/lint"
This is because of #30831. So then I was curious about why go get was trying to update so I did the following
jlorenzini@jlorenzini-mb example.com$ go mod why -m github.com/golang/lint
# github.com/golang/lint
(main module does not need module github.com/golang/lint)
Note it does not matter what go source code you have in the repo.
What did you expect to see?
Either go mod why says its not in use therefore go get -u shouldn't have been trying to upgrade it or go get -u does not try to update it because go mod why says its not in use.
What did you see instead?
go get -u tried to upgrade github.com/golang/lint but go mod why says my main module does not have a dependency on that module.
