With master

```julia
Julia Version 1.6.0-DEV.943
Commit 205fcd7b16 (2020-09-17 03:00 UTC)
Platform Info:
  OS: Linux (x86_64-suse-linux)
  CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4460 CPU @ 3.20GHz
  WORD_SIZE: 64
  LIBM: libopenlibm
  LLVM: libLLVM-9.0.1 (ORCJIT, haswell)

```

on attempt to `update` `pkg` from the REPL I am getting:

`ERROR: Dependency `Test` in target `test` not listed in `deps` or `extras` section.`

While trying to reset I have attempted `registry remove General` but no change. I realize I might be able to reset by deleting the `.julia` directory but I have both 1.5 and 1.6 installed and want to make as little work for myself as possible restoring packages. Perhaps deleting 1.6 from environments sub-directory?

I think this was fixed by [https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/37617](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/37617) so I would just update master.
