dep does not recognize transitive dependencies in vendor?

[amoghe]

How does dep deal with vendor dirs in libraries that being added via dep ensure?

Here is what I ran into:

• I'm adding a plugin to github.com/influxdata/telegraf (which uses dep)
• I proceed to add the github.com/docker/libnetwork as a dependency using dep ensure ...
• This results in influxdata/telegraf@a03f681
• From the above commit, I see that dep added the docker/libnetwork library to the Gopkg.toml as well as its dependency on vishvananda/netlink @ 1.0.0
• However docker/libnetwork only works with the vishvananda/netlink that is vendored in its vendor dir (see ipvs.go:94:32: cannot use &tv (type *syscall.Timeval) as type *unix.Timeval in argument to sock.SetSendTimeout moby/libnetwork#2110)
• So it looks like dep needs to understand this somehow, or I need to get docker/libnetwork to stop vendoring its copy of vishvananda/netlink

Is there a way around this situation?

Dep was officially deprecated earlier this year, and the proposal to archive this repository was accepted. As such, I'm closing outstanding issues before archiving the repository. For any further comments, please use the proposal thread on the Go issue tracker. Thanks!
