I'm working on a book chapter about using the Julia package manager. One example I want to include is debugging a broken package install. I'm currently expecting to focus on a problem caused by binary installs, since that seems to be the mostly likely cause of a Pkg.add failing.
However, it's hard for me to conjure one at will. Does anyone here have any suggestions? It would be helpful if you either (A) have a story about a package install that broke at first and that you then got working (please say what happened and how you fixed it) or (B) an idea for how to reliably create a problem for Pkg.add (which would make it easier for me to get the example output for the book). Thanks! Leah
