Cannot use info.Digest as github.com/containers/storage/vendor/github.com/opencontainers/go-digest

[emolitor]

I've created a project that couples Starlark with Buildah (inducing a transitive dependency on github.com/containers/image) to simplify building packages for my toy Linux distribution. This may simply be user error but when I go get my project I get the following error. However when I use go build it works fine. Searching around the only issue I could find that might be related to this is golang/go#30354 I wanted to confirm whether or not go get is expected to work? I'm relatively new to go so it's very possible "I'm doing it wrong". :)

Thanks for your report.

This happens because containers/storage contains a vendor subdirectory in the repository, and thus it refers to types defined in that directory (you can verify this by manually removing $GOPATH/src/github.com/containers/storage/vendor.) Compare distribution/distribution#2130 .

One way to get things to work is to force the go get to be module-aware (which cause the vendor directory to be ignored): GO111MODULE=on go get ….

Moving to c/storage to consider no longer committing the vendor subdirectory

Since there has been no movement on this in a year, I am going to consider this as a WONTFIX
