FWIW, I seemed to have run into a similar issue with a different package. I was able to fix it by deleting my vendor/ directory and then running dep ensure once again. I did not have to downgrade dep.

I see this as will with k8s.io/kubernetes. Same version of dep on mojave.

Downgrading temporarily to 0.4.1 worked for me

What is dep's desired behavior if the symlinked file no longer exists? That's what seems to be the case with the k8s dependencies.

this appears to be caused by https://github.com/golang/dep/issues/1625 - in this case vendor/github.com/hashicorp/go-rootcerts/test-fixtures/capath-with-symlinks/securetrust.pem exists & is a symlink, but the file that it links to has been pruned.

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!
