If Coulomb's law involved 1/r^3 (instead of 1/r^2), would Gauss's law still be true?

In this case the the electric field due to point charge is
Now consider a gaussian surface as a sphere surface of radius
The flux through the surface is
Thus this flux is dependent on but from Gauss's law the flux depends only on the charge inside the surface.
