So I deleted just ArrayViews from .julia, still got errors. Decided to
delete the whole of .julia, did Pkg.add("Images"), and got this:

But things seem to be working, at least for now.
Interesting side note: I know things aren't supposed to work this way, but
this physical machine seems to create Julia problems. In January I had
similar problems with installing packages that even a fresh install of
Julia didn't solve. Since then I've formatted my hard drive and installed a
later version of Windows, but again even a fresh install of Julia where the
very first thing I type is Pkg.update() causes errors. Or caused -
hopefully we're past that.
Thanks for the help, everyone.
