Unable to add stdlib packages to environment in julia 1.5.2

General Usage

I have just downloaded Julia 1.5.2, and I’m facing a strange issue:

The issue doesn’t go away by deleting ~/.julia

$ rm -rf ~/.julia

I can’t even install registered packages that depend on the stdlib:

(temp) pkg> add OffsetArrays
  Resolving package versions...
ERROR: cannot find name corresponding to UUID 8dfed614-e22c-5e08-85e1-65c5234f0b40 in a registry

I’m not sure what’s going on here?

My only guess is that your julia installation is corrupt somehow.
