Flux: problems in upgrading to Julia 1.6.1

Tooling Package Management
1

I have just upgraded Julia from v1.5.4 to v1.6.1. Everything was working OK in the previous version and it also works OK with the new version, apart from Flux. I had to rm Flux, otherwise, the list of errors was huge. I don’t know what is happening. Actually, this is the first time that I am having this situation. I don’t have CuArrays installed and do have CUDA v2.6.3 on my system. I had to rm Flux and tried to install its most recent version. Got this error (notice that if I rm TextParse, which is an interdependency of CSVFiles, I have to remove the entire package CSVFiles, and in this case the list of errors becomes huge):

Hello @VivMendes , I was able to add Flux package on my Windows 10 machine using a clean project folder in Julia 1.6.1 .

import Pkg
mkdir("flux")
pkg"activate flux"
pkg"add Flux"

Manifest.toml here

It seems like there are some package(s) in your root project (@v1.6) blocking your installation.

@Wen-Wei_Tseng Thanks. I was able to install Flux in the usual manner. The only problem is that I had to rm CSVFiles.jl, because there is apparently a conflict between these two packages in Julia 1.6.1. I do not understand what’s happening and hope that this problem goes away in future developments because CSVFiles is a quite useful package. Even now, the problem continues to seem related to TextParse.
