Can't upgrade Genie without downgrading Memento, slowing down PostgreSQL driver loading

[PallHaraldsson]

[I was debugging slow loading of LibPQ.jl, I think you use, or at least your users, and I got its loading speed from 10 to 8.6 sec., actually Memento was a slow dependency and together we got it down to 1.6 sec. with v1.1.1.]

I couldn't install latest Memento to test until I removed a bunch of packages, and finally yours, and then predically I can't add it back:

I'm a bit new to all this, so I haven't fully tracked down:

@PallHaraldsson I don't know what's causing this either. All of Genie's deps are on the latest allowed version, as far as I can tell:

From the looks at your output maybe related to FilePaths and FilePathsBase - checking.

[essenciary]

OK, found it - latest registered FilePaths is v0.8 (used by Genie) and restricts FilePathsBase to v0.6. The lower version of FilePathsBase triggers downgrades in JSLO and Memento which depend on FilePathsBase. FilePaths v0.8.1 should be registered as that upgrades FilePathsBase.
