This must be the most reported problem with Julia packages. Perhaps we've allowed the dependency stack to become much too long. Typically the error trace is impenetrable to anyone but one of the package maintainers, and often not them because it's in a deeper dependency for which they're not responsible. Something to think about long term as Julia becomes more widely used. This sort of stuff can drive people away quickly to more reliable stacks such as R and Python. (Not saying better or that we can't use multiple tools, just that this kind of package mgmt. fragility is not a good thing.)
