Error with go 1.10 version: looking for io/fs: Cannot detect VCS

[yogi2606]

I am using

• package: github.com/spf13/viper
  version: v1.4.0
• package: github.com/spf13/cobra
  version: 0.0.5

which internally using spf13/afero package

I am using go 1.10 and getting following error

�[0;33m[WARN] �[mUnable to checkout io/fs �[0;31m[ERROR] �[mError looking for io/fs: Cannot detect VCS �[0;31m[ERROR] �[mFailed to retrieve a list of dependencies: Error resolving imports make: *** [dependencies] Error 1

i drill down to root cause and found that one of the package from

• package: github.com/spf13/viper
  version: v1.4.0
• package: github.com/spf13/cobra
  version: 0.0.5

is downloading latest version of spf13/afero which is compatible with go 1.16 only

You'll need go 1.15.10 or higher, see #291 (comment)

Is there a reason go.mod has not been updated to require Go 1.16? Seems like it should be, since the package itself now requires that.

Good suggestion @jcburley, I just opened #346 to address that.
