A recent bug in Cairo.jl incurred the crash of ProfileView.jl.

It has been fixed in Cairo. How can I have ProfileView use the fixed version manually?

I did not find any detailed doc concerning the way we can interact with Pkg such cases.

Thanks

Perhaps `Pkg.checkout` the fixed version (eg if it is `master`). Also see `Pkg.pin`, and the [documentation](https://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/packages/#Checkout,-Pin-and-Free-1).

You could Pkg.checkout(“Cairo”), but i just read that merging into METADATA happens (soon), so you can Pkg.update()
