It seems like you are using the 0.2.0 version of Julia, and some package authors have not correctly marked new versions of their package to require 0.3.0-prerelease when they decided to use features that has been introduced after the release of 0.2.0. The consequence is that Pkg.add and Pkg.update installs versions of some packages that is incompatible with your version of Julia. I think this is a very unfortunate situation for new people evaluating Julia, and the easiest way to solve this us to compile from source or download a nightly release.
