I just updated to MacOS 10.15.7 and am having some registries trouble.  
I try to add `LinearAlgebra` (tested with other basic pkgs too) and receive the following error.  
Any idea what might be causing this and how to fix?  
I `rm -rf` the registries director and retried with no luck.

I also see the same error today.  
It might be related to the experimental platform [commit](https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/commit/a9872abf38e8494ef26cfb9a1087faa69ca88eca)  
@staticfloat Can you have a look into this issue?

me too (Julia 1.5.0)  
It really looks like it’s related to Zlib\_jll as when I remove everything that depends on it, the error goes away.

Yes, there are other packages that need reverting, those are currently in-process here: [https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/23433](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/23433)

Once that is merged, `update` and try again!
