How to solve this alert that I receive when I perform the update?

You might need to set the environmental variable `JULIA_PKG_SERVER` to “”.

```julia
 ENV["JULIA_PKG_SERVER"] = ""

```

Yea, looks like it. That 404 should be silent though, and probably is on 1.6 where the download mechanism has been rewritten.
