What did you do?
- Require a module, say
example.com/m, at the highest release version, sayv1.2.0, which is retracted. - Run
go list -m -u example.com/m
What did you expect to see?
go list -m -u should report the module path and current version and note that the current version is retracted. It should not report an update.
$ go list -m -u example.com/m
example.com/m v1.2.0 (retracted)
What did you see instead?
go list -m -u exits with a non-zero status and prints an error about the retraction.
$ go list -m -u example.com/m
go: example.com/m@v1.2.0: retracted by module author: Accidentally published. Use v0.2.0 instead.
$ echo $?
