Adding various packages didn't help.
Maybe an API changed? This looks similar.

I've looked into the source code and the problem boils down to TranscodingStreams.jl not supporting position and seek (other methods are available though: seekstart, mark, reset).

So either position and seek get implemented there (corresponding issue: JuliaIO/TranscodingStreams.jl#62) or Parsers.jl and CSV.jl change their implementation to use only whats also available on all IO objects. I guess the former would be better.

I had a similar problem with some after the CSV update. My solution, which feels hacky but works, was to encansulate the io in CSV.read(IOBuffer(read(io))). Interestingly, after this, I don't seem to have "type-detect" issues, which were very common in my data. Don't know if that works here, because I was working with Zipped files, but if someone wants to try. I might do a test in a local branch later today.
