At first glance I would have assumed this was related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1832769

The root cause of that was that GO111MODULE needed to be explicitly disabled. Unclear why this has cropped up again.

Problem was that go modules got disabled in the Dockerfile builds explicitly although they had been enabled in general. 

Patch for this is https://code.engineering.redhat.com/gerrit/#/c/221484/
