Ran into same issue a few minutes. I had to specify branch = "master" instead of the discovered version.

[sdboyer]

huh. this outcome shouldn't be possible.

please provide reproduction steps

[felipeweb]

@sdboyer
1 - create a project that use the package as a depency
2 - update dependencies using dep ensure -update

[sdboyer]

create a project that use the package as a depency

Do you mean "lists the project in Gopkg.toml, or "imports the project?" If it's the former, this is by design (see, most recently, #509); if it's the latter, then we have a bug.

[felipeweb]

@sdboyer it's the second

[sdboyer]

OK. But, your reproduction steps don't produce an error.

Please give me as much context as possible, instead of forcing me to ask questions one at a time.

[sdboyer]

Though, looking at the repository, the problem is probably that, yes, you need to specify you want master - otherwise it selects semver-compliant releases that were tagged six years ago.

If that is the problem, then your reproduction steps don't include "run go build", as that's where the error comes from - not dep.
