julia 2:1.11.0-1 fails to precompile and can't update

Description:

Upgrading julia from 2:1.10.5-1 to 2:1.11.0-1 from Archlinux pacman results in precompilation errors, then packages can't be updated, package manager isn't working,...

I don't think this is an upstream issue, it may be a problem with the repo package (?), it probably works if you upgrade "manually" or using juliaup, although I have not tried. Sorry if I am mistaken about this assumption.

I did try to install julia "from scratch" by deleting the .julia directory and removing julia with pacman -Rs, and reinstalling, but the issue persists.

This is what I get when I try to run julia in the new version.

Then when I try to access the package manager I get this:
