I got the current error after installing ArchGDAL.jl. It works last week, and got the error one today. I have run `rm ArchGDAL` and run ‘add ArchGDAL’, the error is still the same.

Could you share the versions of ArchGDAL, GDAL, GDAL\_jll and PROJ\_jll you are using? Recently a newer build of GDAL\_jll broke some links due to needing a newer PROJ\_jll, but since it is the same version (different build number) I cannot tell Pkg to keep them separate.

But the latest ArchGDAL, v0.4.2, should work, since it requires the latest GDAL\_jll, which requires the newest GDAL\_jll and PROJ\_jll.

Ah yes so it is indeed what I thought. `GDAL_jll 3.0.4+1` and `PROJ_jll 6.3.2+1` don’t work with each other. But since `GDAL_jll 3.0.4+0` does work with that PROJ\_jll, I cannot tell Pkg about this, since it doesn’t know about build numbers.

Do you know why you are stuck on older GDAL and ArchGDAL releases, are other packages blocking them? What happens if you `add GDAL@1.1.3 ArchGDAL@0.4.2`, i.e. the latest ones? These should work well.

Thank you!  
`>add ArchGDAL@0.4.1` works.
