I have just updated ImageMagick.jl to v1.1.1 and Gtk.jl to v1.1.2. They installed without any apparent problem, but when I try, say,
```julia
using ImageMagick
```
precompilation fails:
```julia

The first error is a read error, line 7 of `.julia\packages\ImageMagick_jll\VBgqs\src\wrappers\x86_64-w64-mingw32.jl` is `using Libtiff_jll`.
If I do `using Gtk`, the package `gdk_pixbuf_jll` also seems to fail at `using Libtiff_jll`, so I wonder whether the underlying cause is the `libtiff` artifact?
My `versioninfo()` output is as follows:
```julia
Julia Version 1.3.1
Commit 2d5741174c (2019-12-30 21:36 UTC)

```
I’m happy to step back a few versions if that’s the best solution, but I wonder whether there are others?

Can not confirm:
```julia

I think its best to try reinstall from start (e.g. with renaming .julia to .julia.backup) and see if it works than.

Thank you @tim.holy and @oheil for your prompt replies. Since it clearly wasn’t a universal problem, I started with an empty `.julia` folder, and added packages again.
Everything seems to work now, so the breakage was local. Sorry for the noise, and thanks again to you both.
