I asked on slack’s random channel as well but does anyone know why I’m getting errors from a simple `ImageView.imshow` ([issue](https://github.com/JuliaImages/ImageView.jl/issues/139))?

Same problem! maybe something to do with this: [https://github.com/timholy/GtkUtilities.jl/blob/cce72d261957dec84f3200b856b68d7f17c8f06a/src/GtkUtilities.jl#L49](https://github.com/timholy/GtkUtilities.jl/blob/cce72d261957dec84f3200b856b68d7f17c8f06a/src/GtkUtilities.jl#L49)

Not sure I don’t know enough about it to be sure.

I’m glad to hear it’s not just me. Well, I’ll keep you updated once I know more.

This is really weird because the last commit to that file was in Mar 27, 2017… So it’s higher up?

Have you updated to Cairo 0.5.0? To comply with julia v0.7dev we replaced an importall to dedicated imports and maybe reset\_transformation is missing. I can take a look, later.

Thank you very much!  
The error started right after I `Pkg.update()`, yes.

Same here, I did a package update and ended up with this problem.

at least you can pin Cairo to previous version

Ok, I finally found the time to test your suggestion @lobingera

```julia
Pkg.pin("Cairo", v"0.4.0")
Pkg.update()

```

…and I had to close and reopen the REPL for some reason but that provided a fix that will work for now, thanks! 🤜 🤛

don’t hold your breath for it, it looks like an assert in Graphics.jl (mustimplement macro) that doesn’t find reset\_transform although available…

I pinned as well, and it works, thanks. I’ll mention this in the issue.
