What did you do?
When a module with retractions is a dependency, and that module has a newer version, which requires a newer version of Go than it's currently running, the command: go list -u -m all fails.
Other similar issues: #45305, #41350 (although with different reasons)
Reproducer:
- Checkout the example https://github.com/cardil/repro-golang-66403
- Switch to Go < 1.22
- Execute
go list -u -m all
What did you see happen?
The command go list -u -m all fails with:
go: loading module retractions for github.com/buildkite/agent/v3@v3.62.0: module github.com/buildkite/agent/v3@v3.66.0 requires go >= 1.22 (running go 1.21.4)
What did you expect to see?
I expected to see the list of modules.
