To build on what people here are saying:  
I installed `Julia 1.4.0`, then `rm -rf ~/.julia`.  
Next installed `MLJ.jl`, followed by `Distributions.jl`.  
Here is the message I got:

```nohighlight
(@v1.4) pkg> add Distributions
  Resolving package versions...
   Updating `~/.julia/environments/v1.4/Project.toml`
  [31c24e10] + Distributions v0.22.6
   Updating `~/.julia/environments/v1.4/Manifest.toml`
 [no changes]

```

Next when I check status:

```nohighlight
(@v1.4) pkg> status
Status `~/.julia/environments/v1.4/Project.toml`
  [31c24e10] Distributions v0.22.6
  [add582a8] MLJ v0.10.1

```

It would be great if

1. Julia warns me when it adds a package which is not the latest or some kind of Pkg incompatability error as @tim.holy mentions:

```nohighlight
`Note you have installed Distributions v0.22.6, not the latest 
Distributions v0.23.0 because it conflicts with MLJ v0.10.1.`  

```

1. Let `Pkg.status()` display two columns, the package I have & the latest version:

```nohighlight
Package Installed version	Latest version
Distributions v0.22.6 v0.23.0
MLJ v0.10.1 v0.10.1

```

I’d submit a PR to ([https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl](https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl)), but not sure where to begin, or if others even want this.
