Pkg.update() doesn't update

General Usage
1

When I run Pkg.update() or update at the package prompt, all I get is:

julia> Pkg.update()
Updating registry at ~/.julia/registries/General
┌ Warning: Some registries failed to update:
│ — ~/.julia/registries/General — registry dirty

In particular I know that Atom.jl is at 0.7.11 but I am stuck at 0.7.10. Even if I do add Atom@0.7.11 , it still adds 0.7.10. Nothing else looks like it is updating either.

Looks like it might be the same issue as Registry dirty - #17 by greg_plowman , so updating to julia 1.0.2 and/or deleting the registries folder may fix it.
