go get github.com/t-yuki/gocover-cobertura unexpectedly downgrades/removes dependencies

[nyetwurk]

For some reason deps are downgraded or removed.

Why?

Workaround: use go install rather than go get, which is (i hope) guaranteed to not overwrite go.mod/go.sum

The disadvantage is you have to add @latest and it doesn't look at your existing go.mod to get version hints for what version you want.

go install github.com/t-yuki/gocover-cobertura@latest
$GOPATH/bin/gocover-cobertura < coverage.txt > coverage.xml
