Since a number of weeks I can no longer initiate Pkg mode in Julia-1.11-DEV… .

Any hints on how to work around that?

Thanks!

In my .julia/environments/Manifest.toml the entry for LibGIT2 is:

```julia
[[deps.LibGit2]]
deps = ["Base64", "NetworkOptions", "Printf", "SHA"]
uuid = "76f85450-5226-5b5a-8eaa-529ad045b433"

```

This is my versioning.

```julia

ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: Package LibGit2 does not have LibGit2_jll in its dependencies:
- Note that the following manifests in the load path were resolved a potentially

  of the error:
    /Users/rob/.julia/environments/v1.11/Manifest.toml
- You may have a partially installed environment. Try `Pkg.instantiate()`
  to ensure all packages in the environment are installed.
- Or, if you have LibGit2 checked out for development and have
  added LibGit2_jll as a dependency but haven't updated your primary
  environment's manifest file, try `Pkg.resolve()`.
- Otherwise you may need to report an issue with LibGit2

You can:

- delete the manifest, load Pkg and do e.g. a `resolve` to regenerate the manifest. Doing this might get you different versions than what you had before though.
- Start julia with `JULIA_LOAD_PATH="@stdlib" julia`, load `Pkg` then do `pkg> activate @v1.11` and `pkg> resolve` to update the manifest.

This should be improved somehow in the future.

Thank you Kristoffer, I took the 2nd route and it worked flawlessly!!!
