Hi,  
after  
Pkg.update() in Julia v1.3.1  
I had issues during recompiling of whichever package,  
for example:

```julia

Seems like there is a corrupt file somewhere in your depot. You could try deleting the directory at `~/.julia/compiled/v1.3`

I have some issue with compiling `Plots`.

at the beginning I had the same error  
`ERROR: LoadError: EOFError: read end of file`

I removed the directory `~/.julia/compiled/v1.3`, as suggested, but now I get these errors:

Do you know what could be the problem?

I’m getting the same error. I deleted my ~/.julia directory to start fresh and I still can’t compile GeometryBasics

```julia

I thought to myself: “An opportunity to test Makie”. The thing is, Makie also depends on GeometryBasics (which now seems obvious). 😱 😭

Same problem here, any solution found? (deleting the compiled directory didn’t work). I just moved on to a different Julia version (I was using 1.3).
