Error when updating TimeZones?

[ccoffrin]

This may be a non issue, but thought I would mention just the same. A recent package update and got the following message,

   Building TimeZones → `~/.julia/packages/TimeZones/cAGJs/deps/build.log`

However another call to ] build TimeZones seemed to work fine.

Thanks for the report. We can possibly implement an automated retry but I'd like to see how rare this issue is first

[ccoffrin]

sounds good.

A very similar his error occurred today for one of our internal packages during nightly CI.

In PR #441 the deps/build.jl was removed so this is no longer an issue. Included in TimeZones release 1.12
