After standard installation of 1.6.2 on Ubuntu 20,  
I tried adding and (later) building the CSV package. Each ran OK but failed on invocations of ‘using’.

```julia
using CSV

```

I have been away for a while, but I would have hoped such a basic function would not be still failing on basic installation by now. Or maybe I have missed something?

Thanks for any help or guidance

This seems to be a new error and is active on another thread:

> Thank for the explanation. I kinda suspected what you mentioned from the line where the issue occurs and by looking through the master branch. But, I did not know IJulia can behave that way, so I ended up putting up this question. Good to know.
