   Cloning default registries into `~/.julia`
   Cloning registry from "https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git"
ERROR: SystemError: opening file "/home/pkrysl/.julia/registries/General/Registry.toml": No such file or directory

Nothing has changed with the registry so this is odd. The file is definitely there (GitHub - JuliaRegistries/General: The official registry of general Julia packages). Perhaps try delete the registry and try again.

Razed the .julia folder to the ground and now it worked with the latest nightly.
Will try again with 1.1. Thanks.
