x/pkgsite: latest version gets confused by old conflicting subdirectory / submodule

[guregu]

What is the URL of the page with the issue?

https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/trealla-prolog/go@v0.11.1/trealla

What is your user agent?

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/106.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Screenshot

What did you do?

Accessed the "trealla" subpackage from this URL: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/trealla-prolog/go#section-directories

What did you expect to see?

No "latest version" warning (as of writing v0.11.1 is the latest version).

What did you see instead?

Red "latest version" button linking to a very outdated version.

Cause?

While trying to figure out the best way to publish a package in a subdirectory, I tried a bunch of configurations of "root go.mod module in a subdirectory", "go.mod in root and child directory", etc.
Eventually I settled on a single go.mod in the parent directory.
pkg.go.dev remembers one of these old attempts as the newest version for this subdirectory package which is confusing to users and means I can't link to it to point to the latest version (currently the latest version is here).
I tried to retract the old version but it's a git hash pseudoversion and I wasn't able to get it to 'forget' the old package.

Is there any way to get the site to prefer my newer parent package instead?

you could make a branch with:

trealla/go.mod:

module github.com/tralla-prolog/go/trealla

retract [v0.0.0-0, v0.0.1]

and tag it v0.0.1

see https://go.dev/ref/mod#go-mod-file-retract
