dep init hangs indefinitely

[abeMedia]

I don't seem to be able to use go-ethereum with dep. The following simple app can illustrate the issue:

package main

import "github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/log"

func main() {
    logger := log.New("foo", "bar")
    logger.Info("Hello")
}

What version of dep are you using (dep version)?

v0.4.1-178-g1550da37

What dep command did you run?

$ dep init -v

What did you expect to see?

dep creates manifest and lock file and saves dependencies in vendor directory.

What did you see instead?

Hangs indefinitely (I left it running overnight).

To anyone else facing this issue I got around it by simply creating Gopkg.toml by hand and running dep ensure.

Dep was officially deprecated earlier this year, and the proposal to archive this repository was accepted. As such, I'm closing outstanding issues before archiving the repository. For any further comments, please use the proposal thread on the Go issue tracker. Thanks!
