The verbose error message when Pkg.add cannot find a compatible version of a package is highly confusing. It is not at all clear to beginenrs what is happening here.
The error message should start by saying without ambiguity: You are trying to install Package XYZ. I can find no version of this package which is compatible with the version of Julia which you are using or the currently installed packages.
The current error messages plus lots of version numbers:
possible versions are:
restricted by compatibility requirements with LanguageServer:
restricted by julia compatibility requirements to versions:
Yes, these are needing for figuring out what the exact problem is. However the key phrase is at the end and is unparseable by me anyway:
restricted by julia compatibility requirements to versions: 0.4.0-0.4.1 or uninstalled - no versions left
I now know this means 'Hey - this package only works in Julia 0.0.0 to 0.4.1'.
But the 'or uninstalled' is pretty meaningless.
