Trying out the latest beta for v 1.10 on MS-Windows, the package manager gives a bunch of warnings as shown in the title. They displayed while the update was running, and then in the summary at the end.

Do they indicate any real problem, or are they just a result of some things taking awhile to finish? The warnings are toward the bottom of the following excerpt:

Hello, I updated julia to version 1.10 yesterday, and my problem is the following. I have a personal graphical module M, whose first line is `import PyPlot`. The repl command  
`using M`  
results in an _uninterrupted_ series of messages “waiting for IO to finish”, while my program works perfectly after `include("M.jl")` (but all names must be prefixed by `M.`)

I didn’t find any solution on Internet. I created a MWE, and the problem occurs only if this module contains `import PyPlot`.

My OS is Ubuntu.
