Root Cause

The module author has retracted a version, marking it as deprecated or insecure, but go.mod still references it.

generic

中文

模块作者已撤回某个版本，将其标记为已弃用或不安全，但 go.mod 仍引用它。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success Run 'go mod tidy' to automatically upgrade to a non-retracted version 
    go mod tidy
  2. 85% success Manually upgrade to a specific newer version 
    go get example.com/[email protected]

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Ignoring the warning and continuing to build 40% fail

    Builds may succeed, but the retracted version may have security vulnerabilities or be removed in the future.

  2. Manually editing go.mod to re-add the retracted version 90% fail

    Go will still detect it as retracted and issue the same warning.
