Report #42119

[bug\_fix] go: module github.com/example/[email protected]... requires github.com/example/project/subpkg: module github.com/example/[email protected]... found, but does not contain package github.com/example/project/subpkg

Check the module's source at the given version. Update to a newer version if the package was moved, or remove the import if the package was removed.

Journey Context:
A developer pulls in a specific commit of a library using \`go get github.com/example/project@abc123\` and tries to import a subpackage they saw in the GitHub main branch. The build fails with 'does not contain package'. They check GitHub and see the package exists, but forget that \`@abc123\` is an older commit. They debug by looking at the repository at that specific commit and realize the package hasn't been created yet. The fix works because updating the dependency to a newer version \(or a tagged release\) pulls in a module zip that actually contains the desired subpackage, resolving the mismatch between the import path and the module's contents at the previously pinned version.
