Error: build constraints exclude all Go files in /home/user/go/bin/pkg/mod/github.com/rakyll/magicmime@v0.1.0

I am attempting to install Pistol, and I am running into an error involving magic mime.

doronbehar/pistol#76

The error states:

imports github.com/rakyll/magicmime: build constraints exclude all Go files in /home/user/go/bin/pkg/mod/github.com/rakyll/magicmime@v0.1.0

This is a new one for both me and the developer of pistol, and after doing some digging, an issue was discovered in the golang repository that mentions a potential solution to the issue by ensuring package main is used to denote the main script of the package.

golang/go#24068 (comment)

I attempted the suggested resolution, which created another error, because there is no main function in the source code.

So I am inquiring about a workaround that would allow me to use magicmime to install pistol.

Could a main function please be added to the source code to allow magicmime to be called by other libraries?
