Dep ensure contains malformed code for version module

[jinlianch]

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

dep:
version : devel
build date :
git hash :
go version : go1.12.3
go compiler : gc
platform : darwin/amd64
features : ImportDuringSolve=false

git describe --tags: v0.5.1-3-g66ec1e8

What dep command did you run?

dep ensure -add github.com/elastic/[email protected]

What did you expect to see?

Install go-elasticsearch of 7.0.0 version successfully.
If I use command dep ensure -add github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch, it will get github.com/elastic/[email protected], not the latest release.

What did you see instead?

Fetching sources...

Solving failure: No versions of github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch met constraints:
v0.0.0: Could not introduce github.com/elastic/[email protected], as it is not allowed by constraint ^7.0.0 from project Rigel/go.
v7.0.0: "github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch" imports "github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v7/esapi", which contains malformed code: unknown error for "github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v7/esapi", if you get this error see #351

Seems it's caused by the package use go module to generate a specify module name, so it can't import the package.
It's there a way to fix this?

I think #1963 will address this, I may have time to review that PR today (to see if it answers your question first, as well).

@kevinburke That would be really nice! 🙏

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!
