inconsistent definition during import in godep go

[kr]

Errors of the form

inconsistent definition for type ssh.CryptoConfig during import

occasionally happen when using godep.

Speculate the cause is switching between two sets of dependencies,
with one intermediate package S sharing a common version but using
two different versions of transitive dependency T:

Package P's Godeps:

P
1 S
2 T

Package Q's Godeps:

Q
1 S
3 T

where S depends on T, and P and Q may or may not directly depend on T.
Running godep go build in P causes T to build with the current timestamp.
Subsequently running godep go build in Q does not rebuild S, but is using
a different version of T. So Q and S see different, incompatible versions
of the symbols defined in T, and the program cannot link.

I don't think this is still an issue. Closing for now. Please re-open if it is and I am wrong. Thanks!
