Alert: 5 dependencies skipped during auto compilation due to previous errors!

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.

Very slow "Updating registry at 'C:\Users\me\.julia\registries\General'"

You can do the following: pkg> registry rm General julia> ENV["JULIA_PKG_SERVER"] = "" pkg> registry add General Now it will update using Git which should be faster on windows. Only need to do this once.

I have a ThinkPad running Windows 10 that seems stuck on Updating Registry when I tried to add a package. In fact, after half an hour, it was still stuck. What could I do to make it go past updating registry? Note that the poster on Slack cannot see your response here on Discourse.
