Today I updated to v1.11 and I get the following error when I go to package mode
(@v1.11) pkg>
SYSTEM: caught exception of type :TypeError while trying to print a failed Task notice; giving up
This only happens when I startup julia with --startup-file=yes with the startup.jl containing a single command: using Revise.
If startup.jl is empty the error doesn’t happen.
If I start without startup file and load using Revise manually the error doesn’t exist.
The error makes the package mode totally unusable and generally the kernel unpredictable (e.g. I get a stack trace when I call versioninfo())

Julia Version 1.11.0
Commit 501a4f25c2b (2024-10-07 11:40 UTC)
Build Info:
Official https://julialang.org/ release
Platform Info:
OS: Linux (x86_64-linux-gnu)
CPU: 64 × AMD EPYC 7282 16-Core Processor
WORD_SIZE: 64
LLVM: libLLVM-16.0.6 (ORCJIT, znver2)
Threads: 1 default, 0 interactive, 1 GC (on 64 virtual cores)
Environment:
JULIA_DEPOT_PATH = /u/bulk/home/wima/fchrstou/julia
I deleted all ~/.julia/{compiled, packages, artifacts} but still the same happens.
1.10.4 keeps working normally.
Not sure how I managed, but I got this error during a local package loading which I think it’s related:

Same happened to me at some point. I think it was resolved by deleteing ~/.julia/compiled/v1.11 if I recall correctly.
I switched back to 1.10 for a while untill 1.11.1 was out hoping it would get fixed. Unfortunately I still get an error.
(@v1.11) pkg> Unhandled Task ERROR: InitError: MethodError: no method matching repl_init(::REPL.LineEditREPL)
The function `repl_init` exists, but no method is defined for this combination of argument types.
Closest candidates are:
repl_init(::REPL.AbstractREPL)

during initialization of module REPLExt
I think this is a dup of REPLExt: no method matching repl_init(::REPL.LineEditREPL) when loading packages in REPL mode. · Issue #56216 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub
which is pretty terrible.
( I also use a custom $JULIA_DEPOT_PATH )
As hacky temporary workaround writing using Pkg as a first line in my startup.jl seems to be fixing it
