This happened first with Julia 1.5, now with Julia 1.6, i only have left Julia-DEV

You’re probably using a manifest generated with a different version of Julia. Delete it.
Don’t know which Manifest you refer to. The package didn’t have a Manifest. Ended up nuking the .julia (not fun).
I don’t know that to say. People should report issues to Pkg.jl when it gives unhelpful error messages, like Unhelpful error message about failure to parse compatibility version · Issue #1853 · JuliaLang/Pkg.jl · GitHub. Nuking .julia and moving on is not going to fix anything if Pkg developers aren’t reminded of these usability issues.

Sorry, you are right but I needed to have this issue solved and didn’t think on it.
Ok, got the error again. How can I help solving it?

Open an issue in Pkg. The very first problem at this point is that we don’t even know what manifest is triggering the issue. Maybe the one of the @tomls environment? Who knows, it isn’t written anywhere.
I read in the issue
Currently, 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7DEV and have been doing this for a long time but now, possibly related to something new in 1.7DEV I’m getting this error when trying to run the tests in either julia1.5 or 1.6
As I already said above, manifests are specific to a minor version of Julia. You can’t expect to share them across multiple minor versions. That’s a matter of fact and something that is likely not going to be fixed: manifests are for reproducibility with a specific minor Julia version.
For me the issue is that Pkg doesn’t clearly tell what file is causing the issue.

But I’ve been doing that for years and only more recently things broke.
I don’ want to have to reinstall everything (packages) every time I update Julia.
Things “break” especially when standard libraries change between minor versions. They changed a lot between v1.5 and v1.7. You’ve been only lucky before because there is no guarantee that a manifest can be instantiated with a different minor version of Julia.
Who said you have to?
