Hi folks! I just installed Julia 1.4 on my Mac OSX 10.13. It seems to work fine, but then when I type Pkg.update() I get:

I get the same if I use “JULIA_PKG_SERVER=pkg.julialang.org julia” from the Terminal as well (I see this mentioned some places online, something about libgit2?

Any help would be VERY appreciated!!
Cheers,
Nick

Update: It seems like the issue may have been the Fezzik precompiling of packages. When I added:

blacklist(“Interval”)
blacklist(“AbstractPlots”)

…to the blacklist (based on a random hint in Fezzik issues), Fezzik complained a lot, but then julia loaded everything fine and seems not to crash on update.
