My attempt to find out

```julia
(@v1.4) pkg> add GMP_jll@6.2.0
  Resolving package versions...
ERROR: Unsatisfiable requirements detected for package GMP_jll [781609d7]:

```

See [https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/16517](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/16517) and the network of related issues.

tl;dr: GMP 6.2 broke everything on Julia \< 1.5.

Thank you for your reply. I thought one of the packages broke it but your solution said it causes problem for current Julia versions.
