I tried to install DiffEqFlux on a machine which (unfortunately) was running out of disk space. The `Pkg.add()` command failed with “no space left on device”. I cleaned up, and tried again. It apparently succeeded, but it didn’t manage to `precompile()`. The one error I get is for MultivariatePolynomials, which I have tried `]add`ing, seemingly successfully, but it again errors on `using` with the same message

```julia
julia> using MultivariatePolynomials
ERROR: ArgumentError: Package MultivariatePolynomials [102ac46a-7ee4-5c85-9060-abc95bfdeaa3] is required but does not seem to be installed:
 - Run `Pkg.instantiate()` to install all recorded dependencies.

```

After several tries, I finally got a different message _interrupting_ `Pkg.precompile()`:

```julia

Error: Missing source file for MultivariatePolynomials [102ac46a-7ee4-5c85-9060-abc95bfdeaa3

```

(previous ones would yield only the same message about “instantiate”, which was not working).

Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
