Trouble updating Pluto

New to Julia
1

I’m having trouble updating Pluto, and I can’t figure out what’s wrong.

(@v1.4) pkg> update Pluto
 Updating registry at `C:\Users\...\.juliapro\JuliaPro_v1.4.2-1\registries\JuliaPro`
   Updating `C:\Users\...\.juliapro\JuliaPro_v1.4.2-1\environments\v1.4\Project.toml`
 [no changes]
   Updating `C:\Users\...\.juliapro\JuliaPro_v1.4.2-1\environments\v1.4\Manifest.toml`
 [no changes]

But then when I open a new notebook, I get a popup:

A new version of Pluto.jl is available!

You have v0.11.2, the latest is v0.11.9.

You can update Pluto.jl using the julia package manager.
Afterwards, exit Pluto.jl and restart julia.

I have restarted julia several times, and updated Pluto several times, and I still get this same message. Perhaps the issue is that I’m using julia 1.4?

But I don’t see a way to easily update julia without uninstalling/reinstalling. Since I don’t want to lost my packages, etc. I’d rather not make a minor upgrade. (Perhaps there is a way to keep the packages, but I don’t know it, and I’d also rather not experiment with keeping packages as I update.)

As you can see calling update yields no changes. If there really is a new version of Pluto.jl available, then it is not being updated because some previous package depends on Pluto.jl and does not support the new version, you can discover which is the package with:

(@v1.4) pkg> add Pluto@0.11.9

This will fail and report the source of the incompatibility if there some package holding Pluto.jl down.

Hmm…It was…helpful?

ERROR: Unsatisfiable requirements detected for package Pluto [c3e4b0f8]:
 Pluto [c3e4b0f8] log:

 └─restricted to versions 0.11.9 by an explicit requirement — no versions left

But I can’t figure out what the explicit requirement that’s restricting me from (to?) version 0.11.9 is. Perhaps I need Julia 1.5.

Hm, it seems like your registry data is somehow outdated since the version is definitely registered: https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/blob/799b1bd7814cf607286969bdadea7746678c950d/P/Pluto/Versions.toml#L289

The latest Pluto.jl requires Julia 1.0.0 and up, so that should not be a problem: https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl/blob/f7ec03dbac8d46208cba6e600fd6d513f82b71c3/Project.toml#L22

The installation went fine for me.

Well I cloned the registry, and Pluto updated. But now Plots is very broken, as in, the error message is 140,100 characters long.

When I try to use Plots, it returns:

When I then try to plot something simple, it returns:

And then repeats that second error (or something similar) another 25 times.

I think I’m going to call it a night. I’ll probably just uninstall and reinstall in the morning.

Can you show the output of using Pkg; Pkg.status()?

Regarding the libGR.dll error, you can try Pkg.build("GR").

So it looks like there were no package problems. And Pkg.build("GR") fixed the issue with Plots. I don’t know what caused these errors, but it’s working now. Thanks!
