@gopherbot please add modules

[komuw]

However the command;
export GO111MODULE=on && go get -u github.com/golang/text/language
works.

Likely a duplicate of #27238. What happens if you run go clean -modcache?

[komuw]

go clean -modcache && export GO111MODULE=on && go get -v -u golang.org/x/text/language

[komuw]

However the following worked:

sudo rm -rf ~/go/pkg/mod/ && export GO111MODULE=on && go get -v -u golang.org/x/text/language

I was using vgo during it's development so that may have corrupted my cache.

@bcmills thanks for helping.
I'll leave it upto you whether to leave this open or close it in favor of #27238

[bcmills]

Thanks for the info. Let's treat this as a dup of #27238.
