I'm getting this when I try to update:

(@v1.7) pkg> up

I see in this Discourse thread that last time this was a registry wide problem. Anyone else getting this?

No, not for me anyway:

(@v1.7) pkg> up
    Updating registry at `~/.julia/registries/General`
  No Changes to `~/.julia/environments/v1.7/Project.toml`
  No Changes to `~/.julia/environments/v1.7/Manifest.toml`

Hm. Interesting. I'm still getting this error even when I delete my local registry and download a new one

For posterity, the issue here was fixed by using the official binaries.

It was also fixed by recompiling Julia from source.

That being said, we still need to improve these error messages and make them more informative.

I think once I've got that error message because of a circular dependency in an environment. It took me a couple of hours to debug and find the culprit. Then another one or two hours to create a minimal faithful reproducer and another 10 minutes to build master and see the error wasn't showing up, so I didn't submit a bug report. It was a fun afternoon

for the record, someone else reported the same issue I had a couple of months ago and now I've been able to write down a simple reproducer which works also on master: https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/issues/2776

now that I see this error message, it's different from the one reported by Mason above, but sharing it here in case someone else stumbles on it
