and my .julia/v0.6/ lists MakiE with a reasonable git status.

I think the problem with MakiE was that it got renamed to Makie? or vice versa? This has something to do with the casing at least...

julia> Base.isfile_casesensitive("/Users/kristoffer/.julia/v0.6/MakiE/src/MakiE.jl")
false

julia> isfile("/Users/kristoffer/.julia/v0.6/MakiE/src/MakiE.jl")
true

julia> Base.isfile_casesensitive("/Users/kristoffer/.julia/v0.6/MakiE/src/Makie.jl")
true

julia> using MakiE

[lobingera]

I see. Still

Run Pkg.add("MakiE") to install the MakiE package

is misleading (but i have no idea to make this more correctly).

[KristofferC]

is misleading

I don't think so. By renaming the file MakiE.jl -> Makie.jl the package that you pulled from no longer fulfills the package naming convention and is thus no longer found. Makie.jl is a completely other package than MakiE.jl so I think this is expected to break.

[lobingera]

I'll check later, while i agree that i installed initially from a git clone. But still Pkg.update did something to this.

[KristofferC]

Yes, Pkg.upgrade changed the file MakiE.jl -> Makie.jl which is not allowed if your package is called MakiE.jl. This is the same as the package would stop working if the author did a commit that deleted all files in the package.
