Hi All,

I have the following issue when I try to import JuMP (I use Julia 1.2)

```julia
julia> using JuMP

Looks like this was fixed in a recent update to JuMP: [https://github.com/JuliaOpt/JuMP.jl/issues/1908](https://github.com/JuliaOpt/JuMP.jl/issues/1908) . You should be able to do:

```julia
pkg> up JuMP

```

(press `]` to get the `pkg>` prompt).
