I am getting the following alert when I update the packages:  
“140 dependencies successfully precompiled in 319 seconds (279 already precompiled, 5 skipped during auto due to previous errors)”  
I have done what the Pkg package follows, at the end of the update.  
Helps me to solve this problem.

Try to update `Interact`/`InteractBase`? It seems like it is broken (maybe two of its dependencies started exporting a macro they did not export before, and the semantic versioning was not sufficient to avoid the breakage).

I think Henrique meant `pkg> up Interact, InteractBase` – or perhaps even just `pkg> up` if your `compat` entries are up to date.  
Errors like the one you show after `add CairoMakie` I see all the time. Restarting the REPL often resolves those.

The second error says that `InteractBase` is not a direct dependency (it’s presumably in the Manifest b/c `Interact` depends on it). So `InteractBase`’s version is something you don’t have to worry about.  
The first error is hard to diagnose. My rule of thumb with registry problems is: just remove the registry with `registry rm General`. It will be reinstalled automatically when needed.  
There are various reports on discourse about registry updating problems on windows machines. One thing that may or may not help is to set `ENV["JULIA_PKG_SERVER"] = ""` after removing the registry.
