PackageCompiler dependency issues (1.1; failing with dependency errors)

General Usage
6

  1. Yes, same dependencies errors using Julia v1.1.1 (julialang.org official binaries) on Linux. Also tried pkg> instantiate, but it didn’t find any missing dependencies.

  2. Also, if somebody is using Julia binaries installed from Linux distribution’s repositories (in this case Arch Linux), there is error building Arpack while doing compile_incremental(:Plots, force=false), also when tried to build manually, but still:

(v1.1) pkg> build Arpack
  Building Arpack → `~/.julia/packages/Arpack/cu5By/deps/build.log`
┌ Error: Error building `Arpack`:

But error is not occurring using official Julia binaries from julialang.org! Maybe different GCC versions used to compile Julia caused that (could be related: Installation error when Julia is built from source · Issue #5 · JuliaLinearAlgebra/Arpack.jl · GitHub).

  1. Answering:

@pfitzseb, I am using add PackageCompiler@master and no serialization errors, maybe this could be the cause:
