Hello everyone,

I don’t know since when that happens but I just noticed that I can not install new packages anymore.

If I run “Pkg.add(“LightGraphs”)” for example, Julia crashes:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/5/6/56316a39b4db56c815961bbd26f7750164b406be.png)

These are the packages that are already installed:

[6cde8614] BlockDecomposition v1.2.0  
[88b4ec78] Coluna v0.3.0 #master ([GitHub - atoptima/Coluna.jl: Branch-and-Price-and-Cut in Julia](https://github.com/atoptima/Coluna.jl))  
[60bf3e95] GLPK v0.12.1  
[4076af6c] JuMP v0.21.1  
[b8f27783] MathOptInterface v0.9.13 #master ([GitHub - jump-dev/MathOptInterface.jl: An abstraction layer for mathematical optimization solvers.](https://github.com/JuliaOpt/MathOptInterface.jl))

It might be because one of the installed packages, but I did not really want to remove any because I am afraid I will not be able to reinstall them.

Does anyone have any idea what the reason for this problem could be or how it can be solved?

It will be great if anyone can help me!

Best regards,

David

Using the graphical package manager in Manjaro (so Pamac version 9.4.2-1).

This is a known issue with the package manager in Manjaro.

Try using the official binaries from [https://julialang.org](https://julialang.org)

Fantastic, it works now!
