Hello, I just installed Julia for the first time but am unable to install any packages. I am running Julia 1.3 on Arch linux.

edit: it looks like upgrading from http-parser 2.9.2 to 2.9.3 is what’s causing this for me.

```julia
(v1.3) pkg> add IJulia
   Cloning default registries into `~/.julia`
   Cloning registry from "https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git"
