[BUG] Plots fails to install on MacOS (arm64) with Julia 1.10

[eikopf]

This error occurred when running ] add Plots in a completely-new default 1.10 environment. It tries to install dependencies, and crashes when it runs into FFMPEG_jll. This is on the homebrew aarch64 build.

In the meantime, other versions (at least 1.38 and 1.39) still install fine. This seems like it's an issue with something new in either [email protected], or with a dependency (probably FFMPEG_jll, since [email protected] uses [email protected]+1, while [email protected] jumps all the way to [email protected]+0).

Not sure, I can do something about that from the Plots side of things

[eikopf]

Yeah, this is probably an issue with Yggdrasil; I'll open an issue there.

[giordano]

this is probably an issue with Yggdrasil

No, it's not.

Not sure, I can do something about that from the Plots side of things

Yes, you can: drop compatiblity with a version of FFMPEG.jl from 2019:

Plots.jl/Project.toml

Line 61 in 5fc8470

FFMPEG = "0.2 - 0.4"

See for example JuliaIO/VideoIO.jl@40c1494 (#419).

Done in 39c4fc5. Thanks for chiming in!
