Trying to install gotop using go install command returns the following error

command:

go install github.com/xxxserxxx/gotop/v4/cmd/gotop@latest

output

go: downloading github.com/xxxserxxx/gotop v1.0.1

go: github.com/xxxserxxx/gotop/v4/cmd/gotop@latest (in github.com/xxxserxxx/gotop/[email protected]):
	The go.mod file for the module providing named packages contains one or

This one did work:

go install github.com/xxxserxxx/gotop/v4/cmd/[email protected]

So apparently something shady happened between v4.1.2 and v4.1.3...

I have been also hitting this problem for some time. The problem seems to be that there was a replace directive in go.mod for goopt in version 4.1.3:

70d96bd#diff-33ef32bf6c23acb95f5902d7097b7a1d5128ca061167ec0716715b0b9eeaa5f6

It was removed in db95c9c but a newer version has not been released yet, so the latest version (4.1.3) has the replace directive, which prevents installing it with go install.

The problem should go away once a newer version is released, as go.mod does not have any more replace directives.

This should be solved with the release of version 4.1.4. I was able to upgrade to 4.1.4 with go install without a problem.

I believe this issue could be closed as solved
