I’m having a problem with the `julia:latest` docker image. Upon attempting to build upon it, I get:

```julia

```

This is the Dockerfile:

```julia
FROM julia:latest
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y supervisor && apt-get install htop
RUN mkdir -p /var/log/supervisor
COPY supervisord.conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d/supervisord.conf
COPY . /app
WORKDIR /app
RUN julia -e "using Pkg; pkg\"activate . \"; pkg\"instantiate\"; "
EXPOSE 8000
CMD ["/usr/bin/supervisord"]

```

Do you have a copy of the `Project.toml` and `Manifest.toml` files that you are running `instantiate` on?

Oops, it might be because two of the packages are `dev`ed :-/

OK, yes, that’s it, sorry for the false alarm. It would be useful to throw a clear error if possible. Maybe something in the line of “Dev package `Genie` can not be found”.

I’m pretty sure we have a better error for that failure mode now.
