Glide: Warnings and duplicates when running glide on new project

[diwakergupta]

I'm playing around with glide for dbxcli (https://github.com/dropbox/dbxcli). I deleted the vendor directory, then ran glide init followed by glide up. Then running glide list shows me many warnings like:

[INFO]  Package github.com/inconshreveable/mousetrap found in vendor/ folder
[WARN]  Version not set for package github.com/inconshreveable/mousetrap
[INFO]  Package github.com/spf13/pflag found in vendor/ folder

This is followed by a package list that contains many duplicates:

Are these known issues? There are definitely non-intuitive and surprising. Glide looks great but making new project onboarding seamless will be crucial for adoption.

FYI, even after I add version information to glide.yaml (copying over from glide.lock after first run), I still get the same errors. cc/ @mattfarina to your comment in another issue, this has very high WTF-factor IMO.

[mattfarina]

@diwakergupta Have you stripped the VCS metadata from the projects in your vendor/ directory? I have an idea what this might be (and it may be a legitimate bug).

[diwakergupta]

@mattfarina I tried with and without stripping VCS metadata -- get the same warnings.

[diwakergupta]

@mattfarina any update on this? I'd love to start using glide, but am blocked behind this.

I have the same problem. I just created a new project and I included some deps:

package: testtt
import:
- package: github.com/spf13/pflag
- package: k8s.io/client-go
  version: ^2.0.0-alpha.0
  subpackages:
  - kubernetes
  - pkg/api
  - pkg/api/errors
  - pkg/api/meta
  - pkg/api/unversioned
  - pkg/api/v1
  - pkg/apis/extensions/v1beta1
  - pkg/fields
  - pkg/runtime
  - pkg/runtime/serializer
  - pkg/util/strategicpatch
  - rest
  - tools/clientcmd
- package: k8s.io/kubernetes
  version: ~1.4.x
  subpackages:
  - pkg/api/annotations

And I have the same problem when I run glide list. I'm in Mac OS X 10.11.6 with glide version 0.12.3 from homebrew.

Same problem here!
