1.6 gets stuck on ] add Plots

[ghost]

It takes a lot of time to clone the https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git.

Then, after that, it seems to get stuck at:

  Installed IniFile ────────────────────── v0.5.0
   Installed Formatting ─────────────────── v0.4.2
   Installed GeometryBasics ─────────────── v0.3.11
   Installed Gettext_jll ────────────────── v0.20.1+7

   Installed Libgcrypt_jll ──────────────── v1.8.5+4
   Installed StaticArrays ───────────────── v1.0.1

   Installed Xorg_xkeyboard_config_jll ──── v2.27.0+4
   Installed Contour ────────────────────── v0.5.7
   Installed Colors ─────────────────────── v0.12.6

And finally,

ERROR: Unexpected end of data : jl_LrPqJa9nfhAWgbfV~>]  107/109
┌ Warning: failed to extract archive downloaded from https://pkg.julialang.org/package/35d6a980-a343-548e-a6ea-1d62b119f2f4/3141757b5832ee7a0386db87997ee5a23ff20f4d
└ @ Pkg.Operations C:\buildbot\worker\package_win64\build\usr\share\julia\stdlib\v1.6\Pkg\src\Operations.jl:590

I don't know what to expect, if it is normal for the cloning step to take this long (much longer than just doing a git clone).

I haven't tried to figure out why the pkg add failed.

At this step, I'm not particularly inclined to try again until it works.

I'll add more information if necessary.

@StefanKarpinski You asked me to open this issue ...

Edit:

I thought the installer had just ended, but after a few minutes it continued spitting things:

Installed GR ─────────────────────────── v0.55.0
   Installed ColorSchemes ───────────────── v3.10.2
 Downloading artifact: GR
    Downloading [====>                                    ]  9.6 %

At this point I closed the terminal window.

Git cloning the JuliaRegistries/General.git seems to be much faster, though it is still slow:

I don't know if it's related to my location.

libgit2 operations are for some reason very slow on Windows. As a workaround you can git clone it to the expected location directly.

I'm not in a rush to use Julia. I can happily wait until this gets sorted out.

Thank you for filing an issue with details. Sorry for the difficulty.

Please reopen if this is still an issue.
