When updating my packages I encountered the error:  
`ERROR: cannot find name corresponding to UUID 4af54fe1-eca0-43a8-85a7-787d91b784e3 in a registry`

Searching online I found that uuid belongs to `LazyArtifacts.jl` ([https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:pMf944nIVPQJ:https://github.com/JuliaGPU/CUDA.jl/issues/605+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au](https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:pMf944nIVPQJ:https://github.com/JuliaGPU/CUDA.jl/issues/605+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au)) but I don’t think I ever had that package installed.

Anyways, how can I solve that error that prevents me to update my packages?

Yep I merged a PR that broke the General registry.

It should be fixed now.

More specifically, [this PR](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/27666) broke the registry, and [this PR](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/27746) should have fixed it.

Yeah there’s nothing that needs to be fixed on your end.

No, usually the tests will catch any problems.

I (very foolishly) stopped testing on Julia 1.3 and 1.5 and only tested that PR on Julia 1.6-beta1.

I’ve now updated the registry to test on more Julia versions so that we’ll definitely catch these kinds of problems.
