Pkg.add error: "Unsatisfiable requirements" How to understand and attack these

Thanks @johnh – commiseration is generally helpful (e.g., encouraging people to keep going), and it sounds like you are as much (or more) in need of help than I am.

The issue is a good idea – I had trouble reading the error messages, even though I think that you may get pushback that “the name is there” – so there are 2 issues:

  1. Hard t read error messages – 2 part solution: Improve them, Tutorial on reading them (seriously)
  2. What to do with the info if once its readable

I literally give all my PowerShell students a couple of mini-lessons on reading both the HELP and the ERROR messages. PowerShell has some of the best of both (of any language) except that it is both so REGULAR (standardized) and DENSE that people don’t read it.

We (in JuliaLang) need more and better tools, and better education materials, including much better help if Julia is going to continue to grow at a rapid rate.
