go install github.com/xo/usql@latest does not work anymore because of replace in go.mod

[akhenakh]

go install github.com/xo/usql@latest  
go: github.com/xo/usql@latest (in github.com/xo/usql@v0.14.0):
        The go.mod file for the module providing named packages contains one or
        more replace directives. It must not contain directives that would cause
        it to be interpreted differently than if it were the main module.

replace github.com/google/flatbuffers => github.com/google/flatbuffers v0.0.0-20230110200425-62e4d2e5b215

In the meantime for folks trying to install usql:

 go install github.com/xo/usql@v0.13.12

@akhenakh I am aware this is broken currently. The issue is that there are quite a number of drivers that use this package, which has general build conflicts from Go modules currently. I'm not aware of a way to fix this at the moment. I'd suggest, temporarily, either installing a binary release, or checking out the code via git clone and installing from the source tree.

This is discussed here: golang/go#44840 -- I'm not really able to maintain soft forks of the (I think?) 5 drivers that this hits. There are a number of untenable options: move all the affected drivers into the bad group, which means they won't be available to build, as there are other drivers that no longer build out of the box, move them to a bad2 group that allows them to build, remove the drivers completely, don't try to get go install working.
