I decided to change installed julia 4.7(everything were fine) to julia 5.1(both are generic linux tarballs unpacked in /opt with PATH set accordingly) and this resulted in error about missing libgit2, so i couldn`t run julia. To fix it i installed this library(libgit2-0.24.6) and julia launches now without problems, i can use it as expected. But then i tried to install additional packages, and got error. When i try to simply run Pkg.update() problem is the same - segfault. This is the output:

My distro is Slackware 14.2 x64(not multilib). I dont have a single idea why this happens and not managed to find solution by searching. Sorry if its wrong place to ask about it. Github suggests to ask here.
