For what it is worth, I am now working around this problem by cloning “[GitHub - JuliaRegistries/General: The official registry of general Julia packages](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git)” into the `registries` folder from the Linux command-line (e.g. Bash):

```julia
git clone https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git

```

Then, from Julia I can use the various `Pkg` commands, but where the following, hopefully harmless, warning is printed:

```julia
Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git`
? Warning: Some registries failed to update:
? ? myhome/.julia/registries/General ? failed to fetch from repo
? ? myhome/.julia/registries/General ? failed to fetch from repo
? @ Pkg.API /buildworker/worker/package_linux64/build/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v1.0/Pkg/src/API.jl:144

```

Then, I need to, periodically, do a `git pull` on the `General` repository to make sure I have the latest versions of packages.
