Hi,

I have created the package `EspyInsideFunction.jl`, which is publicly available on GIT and is in the Julia registry.

I have updated `EspyInsideFunction.jl`: a new commit of `master`, with tag ``0.1.2`. Pushed, and checked that the new version is out there on GITHUB.

Then I’m ggod to go, right?

```julia
(@v1.7) pkg> add EspyInsideFunction.jl
    Updating registry at `C:\Users\philippem\.julia\registries\JuliaComputingRegistry`
    Updating registry at `C:\Users\philippem\.julia\registries\General.toml`
   Resolving package versions...
ERROR: expected package `EspyInsideFunction [2b54c6b0]` to be registered

```

What is it I forgot to do?

Philippe

In the last commit, you need to comment `@JuliaRegistrator register` to trigger the registraton of the updated version.

Oh thank you! Muito obrigado! 😀

Thanks to Imiq’s solution, I can now successfully update `EspyInsideFunction` in Julia’s default project environment.  
The next step for is to do the same within another environment, that of my (unpublished) `Lithe` project. But there `update` is followed by a failed compilation (by the way, `Lithe` is not expected to work with `EspyInsideFunction v0.1.0`). I think I get more information by removing then adding `EspyInsideFunction`:

```julia
(Lithe) pkg> add EspyInsideFunction
   Resolving package versions...
    Updating `C:\Users\philippem\Documents\GIT\lithe\Project.toml`
  [d6b55740] + EspyInsideFunction v0.1.0
    Updating `C:\Users\philippem\Documents\GIT\lithe\Manifest.toml`
  [d6b55740] + EspyInsideFunction v0.1.0
Precompiling project...
  ✗ Lithe
  0 dependencies successfully precompiled in 5 seconds (217 already precompiled)       
  1 dependency errored. To see a full report either run `import Pkg; Pkg.precompile()` 
or load the package

```

Still that old version!

So I take my gloves off, remove the package again and point explicitly to GITHUB and success!:

```julia
(Lithe) pkg> add "https://github.com/PhilippeMaincon/EspyInsideFunction.jl"
    Updating git-repo `https://github.com/PhilippeMaincon/EspyInsideFunction.jl`
   Resolving package versions...
    Updating `C:\Users\philippem\Documents\GIT\lithe\Project.toml`
  [2b54c6b0] + EspyInsideFunction v0.1.2 `https://github.com/PhilippeMaincon/EspyInsideFunction.jl#master`
    Updating `C:\Users\philippem\Documents\GIT\lithe\Manifest.toml`
  [2b54c6b0] + EspyInsideFunction v0.1.2 `https://github.com/PhilippeMaincon/EspyInsideFunction.jl#master`
Precompiling project...
  1 dependency successfully precompiled in 14 seconds (217 already precompiled)  

```

So my question: commenting `@JuliaRegistrator register ` in my espy commit made it possible to update espy in the base environment. But in my `Lithe` environment I had to bypass the Julia registry (I think that’s what I did by providing my repo’s URL). Why the difference? What did I miss?

🙄 😀

And just to prove that I am still not understanding the system:  
I zip the code from `Lithe`, transfer it to a greenfield computer (with Julia 1.7.2 installed). There, I intend to `dev` it, and I point to the local copy of the code.

My intention is that `Pkg` will find that `Lithe v0.3.1` has dependendy `EspyInsideFunction v1.2.0`, look up the package registry, go to espy’s GIT repo and install it.

But I get:

```julia
(@v1.7) pkg> dev "C:\Users\philippem\C home\GIT\lithe"
   Resolving package versions...
ERROR: Unsatisfiable requirements detected for package EspyInsideFunction [2b54c6b0]:
EspyInsideFunction [2b54c6b0] log:

└─restricted to versions * by Lithe [f328f230] — no versions left

     ├─possible versions are: 0.3.1 or uninstalled
     └─Lithe [f328f230] is fixed to version 0.3.1

```

which I fail to understand

You have a corrupted registry, delete it and reinstall it:

```julia
]registry rm General
registry add General

```
