Pkg Error: Expected LinearAlgebra to be registered

General Usage

I am trying to test the master branch of OffsetArrays.jl on julia 1.5.2 and encountering a strange error that I’ve not seen before.

The test works correctly on 1.5.1

I wonder why this error is being raised, and what can I do to fix this?

Turned out to be a corrupt julia installation. Not sure how that happened, but fixed by re-downloading the binary.
