I updated Julia from 1.11.8 to 1.11.9 this morning, and then tried to update an environment, but I got a 404 error from the package server. I also installed the most recent 1.12 release through juliaup and got the same error when running ]up.

I found a thread from a long time ago (2018) that suggested deleting .julia/registries/, but given how long ago it’s from, I’m hesitant to follow that advice.
When I check the url from the error messages, it returns 404 in my browser as well.
I have never seen this error before. Is it happening for other people as well, or is there something wrong with my installation?
