Comment 3 for bug 1965157

Hi William,

Thanks for working on it. I took a look at what upstream is doing regarding that and I believe it is OK to remove the empty module, but I'll suggest an extra change based on the upstream discussions. We should replace "go 1.16" in go.mod to "go 1.17" to have this feature which should avoid any circular dependency issue:

Could you please test it and make sure it is working with Go 1.18? If this is not ask too much, could you also submit your changes via a PR here https://github.com/tianon/debian-containerd (targeting the ubuntu branch)? We have been maintaining this package there.
