Failing to register due to wrong version chosen for libblastrampoline_jll

[andreasvarga]

I tried to register a new version (0.4.2) of PeriodicSystems.jl, but the registering procedure failed by tring to include a wrong version of libblastrampoline_jll (5.1.1 indicated as the only possible version although in Project.toml libblastrampoline_jll = "3.0.4" is set in the dependencies under Julia 1.7). The error message from the CI.log is:

See CI.log here.

Additional remark: Due to an issue related to the impossibility to generate wrappers for the SLICOT library for Julia v1.8, I am forced to use version 1.7 for which all tests pass. A PR has been proposed to fix the issue (unfortunately still waiting to be merged, see #5259) . Even if merged, I am not sure if this will cure the situation.

AutoMerge always runs with the latest stable Julia, which is currently Julia 1.8. If your package does not support Julia 1.8, it will fail AutoMerge, and you will need to request a manual merge.

To request a manual merge, please post in the #pkg-registration Slack channel as described here: https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/blob/master/README.md#my-pull-request-was-not-approved-for-automatic-merging-what-do-i-do

@ericphanson Perhaps we should add this to the FAQs in the README?
