In the error output, there's mention of files that don't exist in the v7.4.2 tag, like `vendor/github.com/elastic/go-structform/gotype/opts.go` (compare to [https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/tree/v7.4.2/vendor/github.com/elastic/go-structform/gotype](https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/tree/v7.4.2/vendor/github.com/elastic/go-structform/gotype)) It seems your git tree is unclean. ---
