LoadError: InitError: While Precompiling in new Environment

I wanted to start using dedicated environments for all my julia projects, but activating the new environment and using packages (eg. Plots.jl) results in Precompiling that fails with the following error:

 Activating environment at `~/Documents/baro/Project.toml`

This also happens for some other packages like ControlSystems. The julia version is 1.4.2 but I was able to reproduce this error with 1.5.0 and on a different computer with 1.3.1 on it. Both systems are runnning Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

What I tried so far was:

Any help to get the packages running will be greatly appreciated as I really like the idea of having dedicated environments for every project. Also on 1.3.1 even after switching to the default environment the error is still occuring.

The issue seems to lay in the FFMPEG package. The following solved the issue for me: Remove FFMPEG. Then delete the folder which is given in the error message. In your case: "/home/marius/.julia/artifacts/08ab4b2de494e1d61e581ab1fbd610b0b4d1876f/lib/libavdevice.so" Then add FFPEG again which results in a change in the Manifest.toml which does not happen if you just remove FFMPEG:

Updating `~/.julia/environments/v1.3/Manifest.toml`
  [1270edf5] ↓ x264_jll v2020.7.14+0 ⇒ v2019.5.25+2

Try: using FFMPEG, Plots. I was able to precompile Plots then.
