I am using Julia v1.7.3 and am trying to update StaticArrays.jl to 1.5.2. No matter what I do, I have this issue with unsatisfiable requirments. My ultimate goal is to install Survey.jl. I would appreciate any help on this.

You probably have too many things in your current environment making this a pretty complex problem.

Let’s try creating a new environment.

```julia
(Survey) pkg> activate @survey
  Activating new project at `~/.julia/environments/survey`

(@survey) pkg> add Survey

```

FeatherFiles.jl looks particularly problematic here. It’s a very old package.

Thank you so much for your help. I could successfully install Survey.jl.
