installing packages runs into a keyerror: key UUID("...") not found

[Duskhorn]

Freshly installed Julia 1.6.1 Portable on Windows, I run into problems using the REPL package manager.

Minimal riproducible example on my machine

julia> ] add <any package>

Expected behaviour: package gets installed

Actual output:

    Updating registry at `C:\Users\rinal\.julia\registries\General`
    Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General`

Can you try pkg> rm registry General; add registry General and try again.

[Duskhorn]

@KristofferC thanks for the response, I tried removing and adding the registry back but the error persists.

I tried again on a fresh reinstall of Julia, downloading the portable app again, but it gives me the same error

[KristofferC]

The UUID is for Mmap which is a stdlib. So there might be some problem with the portable app or how Pkg interacts with the portable app. That setup is not very well tested. What does Pkg.Types.stdlibs() say?

[Duskhorn]

@KristofferC sorry for the very late response. Upon further investigation, meaning I tried to just import Pkg, Julia propmted the follwing (and rather hilarious, in my opinion) error:

julia> import Pkg
ERROR: ArgumentError: Package Pkg not found in current path:
- Run `import Pkg; Pkg.add("Pkg")` to install the Pkg package.

Which made me believe I set up my JULIA_LOAD_PATH incorrectly. Referring to a very old issue (#29513) I tried to edit my variable and adding the missing semicolon. That did not fix the issue and I can't provide you with the Pkg.Types.stdlibs().

Frankly, I'm stuck

[KristofferC]

You can get Pkg via:

julia> Pkg = Base.loaded_modules[Base.PkgId(Base.UUID("44cfe95a-1eb2-52ea-b672-e2afdf69b78f"), "Pkg")]
Pkg

and then run Pkg.Types.stdlibs()

[Duskhorn]

@KristofferC Thank you so much for your help and sorry again for my very late responses! I managed to call the Pkg.Types.stdlibs() function, here's the full output:

[jagot]

I see the same error in CI, but only on nightly: https://github.com/JuliaApproximation/CompactBases.jl/runs/2771496296?check_suite_focus=true#step:6:11

[KristofferC]

That has something to do with the code for CompatHelper:

[ Info: This is a Dependabot/CompatHelper job, so `force_latest_compatible_version` has been set to `true`

Best to open a new issue for that.
