It seems that you’re not the only one with problems with whatever Julia is being shipped by Arch: [Clean Julia 1.0 install on Arch Linux -- Can't add packages - #11 by crbinz](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/clean-julia-1-0-install-on-arch-linux-cant-add-packages/16931/11)

You could try following the steps in that post (touching `~/.julia/environments/v1.4/Project.toml` and ~/.julia/environments/v1.4/Manifest.toml` ) or you could try using the generic linux binaries from [Download Julia](https://julialang.org/downloads/) .

Using the generic linux binaries has consistently been the best approach in my experience, although I’m not on Arch so I can’t speak to that specifically.
