I tried to release a new package version, which fails:

The real problem is that there is no error message. How can I find out why it fails?

These days the list of checks at the bottom of the PR page seems to be only sometimes helpful. I’ve found it more effective to go into the `Checks` tab at the top of the PR, then go into the AutoMerge job and follow the red crosses until the log appears. In this case the error comes from

```julia

ERROR: LoadError: SystemError: opening file "data/system.yaml": No such file or directory

Huh, is that due to a configuration issue in General, or has GitHub just stopped showing the useful checks at the bottom of the PR?

No idea. So far I’ve found it be inconsistent, but I haven’t investigated it extensively.
