To start from the simplest, have you followed the [suggestion in the FAQ about updating the version of Julia](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/faq/#How-can-I-transfer-the-list-of-installed-packages-after-updating-my-version-of-Julia?)?

If the problem is a corrupted registry, that won’t help, of course, and then @giordano’s suggestion may be the simplest. It’s safe unless you had tweaked your General registry to make it different from [GitHub - JuliaRegistries/General: The official registry of general Julia packages](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General)

I don’t know why you keep blaming Pkg, but that’s _not_ the issue here. Standard libraries that are in v1.6 but not in v1.5 are the problem, because Pkg doesn’t know how to install those packages. Which is what I already said above.

The only problem of Pkg is not providing more meaningful error messages

Got it. Now I understand your reasoning.
