Thanks. Based on our Slack discussion the problem is that Gnuplot depends on `DataStructures = "^0.17"` while `OrdinaryDiffEq` depends on `DataStructures = "0.18"`.

Although I was under the impression that `^0.17` means anything 0.17 and above but not 1.0 since it changes the left most digit. **This is not true**. `^0.17` means anything `0.17.x` but not `0.18`.
