$ go mod tidy
go: finding module for package example.net/m
example.com/pkg imports
        example.net/m: cannot find module providing package example.net/m: no modules on example.net

-- go.mod --
module example.com

go 1.17
-- pkg/example.go --
package example

import _ "example.net/m"

This error message is suboptimal: it gives a package import stack ending with example.net/m, but then includes the redundant substring package example.net/m in the error message.
