go get: error loading module requirements

[mvdan]

See #29935 and #27858; I'd probably consider this to be a duplicate of the second issue. x/tools master only depends on appengine now, which will also go away soon; see its go.mod file.

[ainar-g]

If the problem is being worked on, I don't have any problems with closing this issue. Although the

go get: error loading module requirements

at the end still seems mysterious.

[mvdan]

I imagine the error is because of golang/lint#436:

go: github.com/golang/[email protected]: parsing go.mod: unexpected module path "golang.org/x/lint"

Anyway, I'd expect that the two issues I linked to would fix this issue. I'm not sure if leaving this open in the meantime is a good idea; I'll leave it to you. Perhaps we can close it for now, and reopen if the issue persists after both of those are closed.

[ainar-g]

Closing for now.
