Hello everyone! I am getting a very strange error when I try to run my Julia program. It looks as follows:

```julia
ERROR: expected package `CSV [336ed68f]` to exist in the manifest (use `resolve` to populate the manifest)

```

The thing is, `CSV` actually is in the Manifest file, so `import Pkg; Pkg.resolve()` doesn’t change anything. Also, this error doesn’t happen for all datasets, and not even for the same dataset when running the compiled and uncompiled versions of my program just to check. Thanks for your help!

Please post enough things for people to be able to reproduce. This includes for example the project + manifest and the code you are running.

Sorry, here goes:  
The function that produces the error looks as follows:

```julia
function packageversion(name::AbstractString)
    dependencies = [entry.second for entry in Pkg.dependencies()]
    match = only(filter(dependency -> dependency.name == name, dependencies))
    versionstring = string(match.version)
    versionnumber = parse(Int64, replace(versionstring, '.' => ""))
    return versionnumber
end

```

The `Project.toml` looks like this:

```julia

```

And the `Manifest.toml` was simply generated alongside the project file. It’s very long, but `CSV` is definitely in there:

```julia
[[deps.CSV]]
deps = ["CodecZlib", "Dates", "FilePathsBase", "InlineStrings", "Mmap", "Parsers", "PooledArrays", "SentinelArrays", "Tables", "Unicode", "WeakRefStrings"]
git-tree-sha1 = "c5fd7cd27ac4aed0acf4b73948f0110ff2a854b2"
uuid = "336ed68f-0bac-5ca0-87d4-7b16caf5d00b"
version = "0.10.7"

```

I hope that will do. It’s strange because the error doesn’t occur the same on all machines, nor for all datasets I tried as input.
