WARNING: Method definition describe(AbstractArray) in module StatsBase at /home/juliohm/.julia/v0.5/StatsBase/src/scalarstats.jl:573 overwritten in module DataFrames at /home/juliohm/.julia/v0.5/DataFrames/src/abstractdataframe/abstractdataframe.jl:407.

We'll need something equivalent to https://github.com/JuliaData/DataTables.jl/pull/57. Cc: @cjprybol

just opened the PRs, thanks @juliohm!

I started getting this error when I ran Pkg.update() and found it when I tried using Gadfly. Just curious about the error and how I fix it.

[cjprybol]

In https://github.com/JuliaStats/DataFrames.jl/pull/1185 we decided that the best way to fix this would be to drop Julia 0.5 support. https://github.com/JuliaStats/DataFrames.jl/pull/1186 has the code to drop Julia 0.5, and once that is merged then I need to modify https://github.com/JuliaStats/DataFrames.jl/pull/1185 and rebase it onto the changes introduced by https://github.com/JuliaStats/DataFrames.jl/pull/1186. If you'd be interested in forking https://github.com/JuliaStats/DataFrames.jl/pull/1186 to help debug the Travis errors, @zwolfe21, that could help speed this along! If not, we know the fix and should have it finished soon, but help is always welcome!

1186 and #1185 have been merged so this should be resolved by ~a Pkg.checkout("DataFrames") to get the latest master right now, and should be fixed by Pkg.update() upon the next version release.~ Pkg.update() to get the new release that @ararslan just tagged https://github.com/JuliaStats/DataFrames.jl/releases/tag/v0.10.0.

Same issue

[cjprybol]

@alexeypetrushin are you running Julia 0.5 or the 0.6 release candidates? As stated above, the fix was pushed after a commit that removed Julia 0.5 support, so this issue will persist in 0.5 but I can't reproduce this in 0.6.

[al6x]

Got it, thanks, I was using Julia 0.5X.

I found that Pkg.pin("StatsBase", v"0.13.1") resolved the problem using Julia 0.5.2.
