With Julia 1.9.0 being released, I ran `juliaup update` in my (ubuntu 22.04) terminal to get the latest version. when I then start julia I got a

```julia
ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: Package OhMyREPL not found in current path.
- Run `import Pkg; Pkg.add("OhMyREPL")` to install the OhMyREPL package.

```

error (I have `using OhMyREPL` ran automatically on Julai startup). Also, `]status` gives

```julia
(@v1.9) pkg> status
Status `~/.julia/environments/v1.9/Project.toml` (empty project)

```

Ut seems like all the packages I had in my default environment, given the update, have disappeared. Is there any good way to copy these over when I perform `juliaup update`?

There is one default environment per minor version of the language, as you will find if you look at your folder `.julia/environments`. Hence the `(v1.8)` which used to appear before the `julia>` prompt.

Sofar I have found no better solution than reinstalling my base packages for each minor version (which doesn’t happen all too often anyway).

You can copy `.julia/environments/v1.8/Project.toml` to `.julia/environments/v1.9/Project.toml` if you want to have the same packages.

I had to create the `.julia/environments/v1.9/` folder, but once I did, now it seems to work. Thanks 🙂
