Overcoming Module Path Discrepancy in Go Mod

When utilizing Go Mod, it's possible to encounter a conflict where a 3rd party package imports another package with a path mismatch between the imported package's go.mod and the actual import path. This can lead to go mod tidy failures, as demonstrated by the echoed messages:

`<pre>github.com/coreos/etcd/client tested by
github.com/coreos/etcd/client.test imports
github.com/coreos/etcd/integration imports
github.com/coreos/etcd/etcdserver imports
github.com/coreos/etcd/mvcc/backend imports
github.com/coreos/bbolt: github.com/coreos/[email protected]: parsing go.mod:
module declares its path as: go.etcd.io/bbolt
but was required as: github.com/coreos/bbolt
</pre>`

To resolve this issue, you can utilize the replace directive in your go.mod file. Simply add the following line at the end of your go.mod:

replace github.com/coreos/bbolt v1.3.5 => go.etcd.io/bbolt v1.3.5

By using the replace directive, you override the original import path and specify the correct module path for the conflicting package. This позволяет go mod resolve the dependency correctly, even though the module path declared in the package's go.mod file is different from its import path.
