Hmm...there's no normal scenario in which the tool would modify a file in the cache, which is where this error almost certainly is coming from. Three questions:

• Did you ctrl-C an earlier dep run? If so, git could have terminated in an inconsistent disk state. If that's the case, then this is another instance of the same underlying issue as in solve error: Unable to retrieve local repo information #469.
• Did you manually change anything under the $GOPATH/pkg/dep/sources/ dir?
• Failing the others, what are your gitconfig values for core.safecrlf, core.autocrlf, core.eol? And what OS are you on?

I know it's not a good solution, but rm -rf $GOPATH/pkg/dep/sources/ should resolve the immediate problem.

The previous dep works fine(April 9). I updated dep and it told me missing Gopkg.toml and need dep init it.

1. It's a huge project and works for a long time. I'm sure I may use ctrl-C sometimes.
2. I never manually change anything under the $GOPATH/pkg/dep/sources/ dir definitely.
3. I'm using Mac OSX 10.12.4 and here is git config -l result

credential.helper=osxkeychain
user.name=elvizlai
user.email=hidden for secret
core.excludesfile=/Users/sdrzlyz/.gitignore_global
difftool.sourcetree.cmd=opendiff "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE"
difftool.sourcetree.path=
mergetool.sourcetree.cmd=/Applications/SourceTree.app/Contents/Resources/opendiff-w.sh "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" -ancestor "$BASE" -merge "$MERGED"
mergetool.sourcetree.trustexitcode=true

no such file or directory: /Users/sdrzlyz/.godeps/pkg/dep/sources/

Anything more detail need I provide to solve this problem?

I'm sure I may use ctrl-C sometimes.

They key here is whether you interrupted since updating to the latest dep. We changed the way signals are handled recently, and it's created these situations where git can terminate too quickly, possibly creating an inconsistent disk state (like what you've been seeing) on subsequent runs.

no such file or directory: /Users/sdrzlyz/.godeps/pkg/dep/sources/

That's when attempting the rm -rf, right? That shouldn't be possible - if dep has worked with even a single dependency, that directory should exist and be non-empty. Your GOPATH is /Users/sdrzlyz/.godeps? Or do you perhaps have multiple elements in your GOPATH?

[elvizlai]

@sdboyer Yes, I have multi GOPATH. I found those file in my project dir.
I delete pkg/dep/sources/ dir and now dep init works.

OK, glad you got it fixed. It sounds like this is a symptom of a problem for which we already have a ticket, so closing this one out.
