Hi all. I just upgraded to Julia 1.6.1 very exited.  
When running julia from Atom or the Terminal i get this message:

```julia
Press Enter to start a new session.

Hold on tight while we are installing some packages for you.
This should only take a few seconds...

It won’t let me install any package …

```julia
(@v1.6) pkg> add Arpack
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:
 * Arpack (not found in project, manifest or registry)

```

Any ideas?

Try remove the `~/.julia/registries/JuliaComputingRegistry` folder.
