cannot load github.com/ugorji/go/codec: ambiguous import: found .... in multiple modules

I wanted to try the cookie-based session example from the readme but it fails with the following error:

cannot load github.com/ugorji/go/codec: ambiguous import: found github.com/ugorji/go/codec in multiple modules:

To reproduce:

$ ls -l
total 0
$ go mod init foo
go: creating new go.mod: module foo
$ # copy cookie-based example code into the clipboard
$ pbpaste > ./main.go
$ go fmt ./main.go && go run ./main.go

build command-line-arguments: cannot load github.com/ugorji/go/codec: ambiguous import: found github.com/ugorji/go/codec in multiple modules:

$ echo $?

I can't tell if this is an issue with ugorji/go or cmd/go itself but thought I'd post here in case anyone knows of a fix. Will update if I find one.

Here's a workaround found in ugorji/go#279:

go get github.com/ugorji/go@v1.1.2-0.20180831062425-e253f1f20942
