Fix "Warning: Some packages (...) are not downloaded"?

General Usage
1

In Julia 1.1.0-DEV.720 after adding Rebugger, (v1.1) pkg> status -m (see below) indicates that two packages (‘OrderedCollections v1.0.2’ and ‘Pkg-f9180e48b27a843aeee864db814dce57cb296b9b’) have not been downloaded. I tried instantiate as recommended but this didn’t help:

(v1.1) pkg> instantiate
  Updating registry at `~/.julia/registries/General`
  Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git`

Command runs but doesn’t download the two packages. The question is how to download/fix the two packages? And/or is it not recommended to work with master Julia?

[Edit: removing Rebugger fixed OrderedCollections; Pkg-f918… I had to manually remove from the Manifest.toml file]

  • I removed Debugger/Revise and re-added them with (v1.1) pkg> add Rebugger or (v1.1) pkg> add Rebugger#master. In both cases ‘OrderedCollections v1.0.2’ and ‘Pkg-f9180e48b27a843aeee864db814dce57cb296b9b’ are added and cannot be instantiated. This happens in v"1.1.0-DEV.720".

  • in Julia 1.0.1 it works well (will go back to that version, maybe not a good idea to use master when one doesn’t really understand the pkg internals)

Regarding the Pkg-f91 problem, remove the usr directory and rebuild julia.

Yes this fixed it, the OrderedCollections issue has also gone away and the Rebugger package loads now.
[Edit: to be more exact: I had to manually delete the Pkg-f91… entry from ‘~/.julia/environments/v1.1Manifest.toml’ and delete Rebugger to remove OrderedCollections. Afterwards when re-adding Rebugger everything worked]

How did you know that deleting the ‘usr’ directory will help?
