gochecknoinits using undocumented name init

[abemedia]

Welcome

• Yes, I'm using a binary release within 2 latest major releases. Only such installations are supported.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• Yes, I've read the typecheck section of the FAQ (https://golangci-lint.run/welcome/faq/#why-do-you-have-typecheck-errors).
• Yes, I've tried with the standalone linter if available (e.g., gocritic, go vet, etc.). (https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/)

Description of the problem

Since updating to v1.58.0 I'm getting the following errors:

• directive `//nolint:gochecknoinits` is unused for linter "gochecknoinits" (nolintlint)
• don't use `init` function (init)

If I change //nolint:gochecknoinits to //nolint:init I get

WARN [runner/nolint] Found unknown linters in //nolint directives: init 

It appears as though the linter was renamed in parts of the application but not all, and most importantly this change isn't documented.

Hello,

I found the problem, I will fix it.

As a temporary workaround, you can remove the nolint directive and use the exclude-rules

issues:
  exclude-rules:
    - path: path/to/a/file.go
      text: "don't use `init` function"
