I just tried to submit a new package to the registrator [JuliaHub](https://juliahub.com/ui/Registrator) and there’s a failure at the “AutoMerge” test, with message

```julia
[ Info: Attempting to `Pkg.add` package...
    Updating registry at `/tmp/jl_ORnSsn/registries/General`
┌ Error: Some registries failed to update:
│ — `/tmp/jl_ORnSsn/registries/General` — registry dirty
└ @ Pkg.Registry /buildworker/worker/package_linux64/build/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v1.7/Pkg/src/Registry/Registry.jl:450

```

Now there’s no registry in my package, so I don’t know how to fix this. Can some kind soul give a look to it? It’s PR [https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/57522](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/57522)

Commented on the issue - that’s not the reason it wasn’t merged. It wasn’t merged due to your package not having compat bounds on the julia version.
