fixed packages introduce conflicting requirements for BinDeps:

Question

After installing JuliaPro_v0.6.0.1_build-78.exe from scratch I tried to update packages via Pkg.update() I've got the following Error message:

fixed packages introduce conflicting requirements for BinDeps: 
       available versions are 0.0.1, 0.2.0, 0.2.1, 0.2.2, 0.2.3, 0.2.4,

Trying to add an another Pkg leads to a same error message. Thus it is not possible to add further packages without solving this problem.

Any advice to resolve this problem are appreciated.

Answer 1

This just fixed it for me:

Pkg.rm("BinDeps")

The effect was downgrading BinDeps from 0.7.0 to 0.6.0.

Out of curiosity I did Pkg.update() afterwards, which has brought BinDeps back to 0.7.0, but it seems that previous conflicts are now gone.

I think the issue might have been that version 0.7.0 was installed but not registered as available.
