I was using go-redis without issues until i updated my golang mod files and i started getting this build error:
cannot find package "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/apils" in any of: /usr/local/go/src/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/apils (from $GOROOT)
Iḿ currently using go version go1.15.2 linux/amd64.
The compiler gets all the opentelemetry package but the apils package

Expected Behavior

The program should compile without error

Current Behavior

cannot find package "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/apils" in any of: /usr/local/go/src/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/apils (from $GOROOT)

Possible Solution

Update the code using trace.### to point the otel package

Steps to Reproduce

1.Create a clean development environment
2. Clone a repo using go-redis
3. go build the code
4. The error appears

I checked the Otel source code and the trace package was moved to the otel package in v0.13.0. If you check the source code of the otel package, there is a trace.go file as part of the otel package.
The issue is that the source code of go-redis keeps importing the /otel/api/trace package. This causes the compiler to try get a package that does not exists anymore. see files: options.go, redis.go, util.go, and conn.go.
I hope this helps... i have not been able to compile my code due to this issue. As always, thanks for all your help. Let me know if there is anything i can do

I fixed the code, and now it works with the new version of opentelemetry.
Do you want me to send you the fixes? i have no problem sharing that if it helps you
