Yesterday I released a new patch version of a package. It is still not available here for update.
(@v1.6) pkg> up ComplexMixtures
Updating registry at `~/.julia/registries/General`
No Changes to `~/.julia/environments/v1.6/Project.toml`

There is something going wrong with the the repository?
Hmm… Everything looks fine

Have you tried to add it in fresh project? Are you using GitHub version of the package or dev?
The only thing that worked is to add the version explicitly:

Silly question on my side, maybe, but…
I notice that it says Activating environment ..., not “new environment”. So there was already a Project.toml in that environment. Could it be that it contained some other dependency incompatible with the newest version of ComplexMixtures?
Nope (probably that was that I ran the command twice for some copy/pasting that I forgot):
(@v1.6) pkg> activate yetanothernewtest

Tip: use pkg> activate --temp to get a guaranteed fresh environment, every time.
Is version 0.4.21 available in ~/.julia/registries/General/C/ComplexMixtures/Versions.toml? If no, your problem is that your registry isn’t up to date, possibly because your package server is lagging with updates. If yes, dependency problems in your environment would usually be the likely suspect.
And is your copy of the registry correctly updated? Your output does not show the line
Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git
after Updating registry…
That is normal if getting the registry from a package server rather than from git. And indeed, switching to a git provided registry is one way of working around a lagging package server.
Nice, but with the same result.
No, it is not.
It does not indeed:
(@v1.6) pkg> activate --temp

...
any way to sort that out? I updated everything already.
Your answer was no, so that clause doesn’t apply.
To switch to a git provided registry, run Julia with the environment variable JULIA_PKG_SERVER set to "" (empty string) and do
pkg> registry rm General
pkg> registry add General
That did the trick. Where ever my registry could have changed? (I never did that).
With some Windows exceptions, Julia 1.5 and 1.6 will use a package server by default, including for the registry. So unless your Julia depot was created by an earlier version, it’s expected that your registry is package server provided.
that may well be it, thanks
