go get -v gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v2 hangs indefinitely

[yaravind]

The go get -v gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v2 is hanging after printing the following output. I could install other packages though. How to debug the root cause for this?

This has been hanging for over 6 hours. Had to come out of this by pressing cntrl+c.

$go get -v -insecure gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v2

I had to clone the reop myself for this to work

GOPATH/src/gopkg.in/urfave> git clone https://github.com/urfave/cli -b v2 cli.v2

@yaravind I tried this right now and it seemed to work so perhaps the problem was intermittent. Do you still see the same issue?

@jszwedko I tried it now and it is working. So I guess it was a one time issue. But it lasted for a long time :-)
