When I tried to install the latest package version of MySQL (apparently revamped) I got a dependency failure due to a conflict between the package ‘Tables’ and ‘DataFrames’:

ERROR: Unsatisfiable requirements detected for package Tables [bd369af6]:

└─restricted to versions 0.19.4 by an explicit requirement, leaving only versions 0.19.4

I tried to fix it by making sure I had the latest version of both ‘DataFrame’ (OK) but ‘Tables’ failed with the error:

I am running Julia 1.2

Thanks for any help!

It looks like some old versions of DataFrames are having trouble due to being stuck on an old version of Tables. For the hell of it, could you try updating all packages with `]up` and installing MySQL again?

Also, I strongly recommend you update to Julia 1.4.1. There were a number of minor (but sometimes pretty annoying) issues with Pkg that have been fixed over time.

OK, I will try that. Thanks!
