ERROR: "/tmp/jl_F8q8cm/Registry.toml": No such file in Julia REPL

Question

I am tryin to update the packages in my current environment through the package manager and get the following error:

(@v1.6) pkg> update
    Updating registry at `~/.julia/registries/General`
┌ Warning: could not download https://pkg.julialang.org/registry/23338594-aafe-5451-b93e-139f81909106/46715bc8c87dc9f8d86b589ce090af6fcca81565
└ @ Pkg.Types /buildworker/worker/package_linux64/build/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v1.6/Pkg/src/Types.jl:1156
ERROR: "/tmp/jl_F8q8cm/Registry.toml": No such file
Stacktrace:
  [1] error(::String, ::String)
    @ Base ./error.jl:42

Any ideas what might be going wrong?

Answer 1

It looks like the link to the general registry was broken. All that needs to be done to address this is:

] registry rm General

]up

which will remove the general registry and then re-add it by default when the up command is run.
