This is an error that I’ve seen for the first time a few weeks ago - it only occurred when I imported a package I’m developing from within the Atom editor. And it was difficult to reproduce. If I change code in some random way, then the error message would go away, I change some code again and it returns. Today for the first time I am getting this error on the REPL. I have never had the error appear from a notebook, or when executing a script. I’d be more than happy to find out this is a problem in my code or my setup but I have no clue where to start looking. Any help would be appreciated. For what it’s worth, the package is at https://github.com/cortner/NBodyIPs.jl

This is https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/21653 and it’s kind of the bane of my existence this week. I’m afraid I can’t really suggest a work-around because I’m in the same situation as you. I’d be thrilled to know if there’s a way to reliably avoid it.
UPDATE: a collaborator of mine is now getting this error message also from a notebook. “bane of existence” is a good way to put it, this is causing me quite a headache . . .
Would that be the aa/backports-0.6.4 branch? Oh man, I would be so excited if this were resolved (I’ve made about half a dozen commits to MeshCat.jl this week to shuffle code around to try to avoid the issue).
I think so. I just tried that, and I was able to build Julia but make install failed while building the docs:
