Dep: package context: unrecognized import path "context" (import path does not begin with hostname)

[jpwhitney]

I ran
go get -u github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep
and I got
package context: unrecognized import path "context" (import path does not begin with hostname)

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.

How can I fix this? Is this a known issue?

[Zwei-Raben]

same here

[jpwhitney]

I think I fixed this by installing latest version of Go. What version do you have?

[Zwei-Raben]

root@hostname:~/go/src/github.com/kotakanbe/go-cve-dictionary# go version
go version go1.10.1 linux/amd64

i think the latest you could have

[jpwhitney]

It may just have been a path issue.

[Zwei-Raben]

Would you mind showing me your go env?

[Zwei-Raben]

missing package installable by
git clone https://github.com/gorilla/context /root/go/src/github.com/golang/dep/vendor/context

[sdboyer]

This is pretty bizarre - context has been in stdlib for some time. i've no idea how that outcome could occur on go 10.1 😕

export GOROOT=/usr/local/go

[japzio]

encountered this with 1.6. need to install 1.12 and it works but the issue really i guess is exporting GOROOT, GOPATH and adding bin to PATH

[dpretet]

Worked for me in Ubuntu 16.04 with :
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
setup along the solution

sudo apt-get purge golang*
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/go-1.6/ /usr/lib/go-1.6/src/ /usr/lib/go-1.6/src/runtime/ /usr/lib/go-1.6/src/runtime/race
curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.11.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.11.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
mkdir -p ~/go; echo "export GOPATH=$HOME/go" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/go/bin:/usr/local/go/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
go get github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql
It's work for me.

[NargiT]

Thx this worked!

I just do not understand what is the reason it fails on ubuntu 16.04.

sudo apt-get purge golang*
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/go-1.6/ /usr/lib/go-1.6/src/ /usr/lib/go-1.6/src/runtime/ /usr/lib/go-1.6/src/runtime/race
curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.11.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.11.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
mkdir -p ~/go; echo "export GOPATH=$HOME/go" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/go/bin:/usr/local/go/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
go get github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql

warning: GOPATH set to GOROOT (/root/go) has no effect
package github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv: cannot download, $GOPATH must not be set to $GOROOT. For more details see: 'go help gopath'

if I change GOPATH to a different one, i got a bunch of error like below:
