Hi,

Has anyone had an issue with Go referencing "src" folders from the which was changed to "pkg" since v1.6? If so is there any way to fix this or any link to a similar issue? 

I couldn't find anything in the documentation regarding this. I am running the latest v1.17.1 release.

The folder listing for my GOPATH:

When presenting text, please present it as ordinary text, not as images.  Text is much easier to read than images.  Thanks.

You should not have a directory $GOROOT/src/github.com.  I don't know why that appears to exist on your system.

If I'm not mistaken `$GOPATH/pkg/mod` where go modules keeps the downloaded modules, looking up `$GOPATH/pkg/mod` is to look for a module downloaded in module aware mode and `$GOPATH/src` is for gopath mode.

Are you working with go modules or on the legacy go path mode?

Noted with thanks.

I used "go get ." to download the package "github.com/google/gopacket", however Go is searching for it in "$GOPATH/src" while it was downloaded to "$GOPATH/pkg/mod".
