I suspect it's because it's version 2. Major version v2 and above needs to
have the version in the import path.
So the correct import path for your package would be:
github.com/twpayne/go-xdg/v2
It might be nice if the go tool complained about this at some stage of the
process; I suspect that's the role of the (currently non-existent) "go
release" tool.
cheers,
