glide no longer working for aliased repos?

$ glide get golang.org/x/crypto/ssh
[INFO]  Preparing to install 1 package.

have no idea how to debug this, go get golang.org/x/crypto/ssh works and with -v shows it doing the right thing and glide get <github.com-url> works fine.

I should note that this was working fine, until I updated my ubuntu installation from 17.04 to 17.10

using the golang-glide package in Ubuntu 17.10 (instead of my own go get version worked

$ glide --version
glide version v0.13.1
$ /usr/bin/glide --version
glide version 0.12.3-2

first one fails repeatedly (its the one in my GOPATH), the second one works fine.
