Installation problems with precompilation (`Setfield` not defined)

[ianhbell]

Been running into a lot of issues with changing version of Clapeyron, and I think it is related to some sort of precompilation cache. Version 0.5.10 has problems with CPA parameters (#256 ) so I tried to downgrade one patch release with:

(@v1.9) pkg> add Clapeyron@0.5.9,

but then I get a big precompilation backtrace that looks something like this:

and I keep getting the same problem until I downgrade to 0.4.0 where the problem seems to go away. I have tried to remove the .julia folder and try again and that didn't fix the precompilation problem.

this is because i used to depend on Setfield (coming from another package). try downgrading Roots to 2.0.22 i will see what i can do on my part

[ianhbell]

How do I force that since the add follows the dependency tree of Clapeyron?

[longemen3000]

if you do:

(@v1.10) pkg> add Roots@2.0.22
(@v1.10) pkg> pin Roots

in the same enviroment that has the Clapeyron instalation, that seems to work.

[ianhbell]

Thanks, that works perfectly
