How to view full dependency tree for nested Go dependencies

if the following isn't a stack trace what is it?

It is the list of path where Go is looking for your missing package.

I have no idea who is importing kafkaAvailMonitor.go

It is not "imported", just part of your sources and compiled.
Except it cannot compile, because it needs github.com/Shopify/sarama/tz/breaker, which is not in GOROOT or GOPATH.

Still, check what go list would return on your direct package, to see if kafkaAvailMonitor is mentioned.

go list can show both the packages that your package directly depends, or its complete set of transitive dependencies.

% go list -f '{{ .Imports }}' github.com/davecheney/profile
[io/ioutil log os os/signal path/filepath runtime runtime/pprof]
% go list -f '{{ .Deps }}' github.com/davecheney/profile
[bufio bytes errors fmt io io/ioutil log math os os/signal path/filepath reflect run

You can then script go list in order to list all dependencies.
See this bash script for instance, by Noel Cower (nilium)

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Usage: lsdep [PACKAGE...]
#
# Example (list github.com/foo/bar and package dir deps [the . argument])
# $ lsdep github.com/foo/bar .
#
# By default, this will list dependencies (imports), test imports, and test
# dependencies (imports made by test imports).  You can recurse further by
# setting TESTIMPORTS to an integer greater than one, or to skip test
# dependencies, set TESTIMPORTS to 0 or a negative integer.

: "${TESTIMPORTS:=1}"

lsdep_impl__ () {
    local txtestimps='{{range $v := .TestImports}}{{print . "\n"}}{{end}}'
    local txdeps='{{range $v := .Deps}}{{print . "\n"}}{{end}}'

    {
        go list -f "${txtestimps}${txdeps}" "$@"
        if [[ -n "${TESTIMPORTS}" ]] && [[ "${TESTIMPORTS:-1}" -gt 0 ]]
        then
            go list -f "${txtestimps}" "$@" |
            sort | uniq |
            comm -23 - <(go list std | sort) |
                TESTIMPORTS=$((TESTIMPORTS - 1)) xargs bash -c 'lsdep_impl__ "$@"' "$0"
        fi
    } |
    sort | uniq |
    comm -23 - <(go list std | sort)
}
export -f lsdep_impl__

lsdep_impl__ "$@"

When using modules you may be able to get what you need from go mod graph.

usage: go mod graph

Graph prints the module requirement graph (with replacements applied)
in text form. Each line in the output has two space-separated fields: a module
and one of its requirements. Each module is identified as a string of the form
path@version, except for the main module, which has no @version suffix.

I.e., for the original question, run go mod graph | grep github.com/Shopify/sarama then look more closely at each entry on the left-hand side.
