Dear all,
I have an error during installation of package DataFrames or DataDeps under Ubuntu 22.04 processor AMD (and also the same error on Apple M1 pro). The error is the following one:
```julia

Welcome to the forum!
From the logged text it seems like DataFrames is already in your environment (because there are `No Changes to` the [Project/Manifest] file). And based on the errors, it looks like the culprit is related to the Optimization.jl package. So I’m not sure that it’s really DataFrames that causes the issue 🤔
Maybe these steps can help to narrow down the issue:
- Can you install any other package in the environment? Or run `pkg> precompile` without adding any new packages?
- If you create a new environment and add DataFrames, e.g. like so
```julia
pkg> activate --temp
pkg> add DataFrames
```
Do you get the same error?
- It looks like you are using the “global” environment. Are there a lot of packages in there? Can you upgrade the packages with `pkg> up` (perhaps make a copy of the file `~/.julia/environments/v1.9/Manifest.toml` before that, so you know which versions you have installed at the moment.

I have a similar issue with different packages [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/precompilation-of-package-extension-failure/103983).

There is some issue with this extension for which the root cause is still being tracked down.
