Error building `OpenDSSDirect`: ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: Package Downloads does not have NetworkOptions in its dependencies

[NLaws]

in my latest release of CommonOPF I get this error in the AutoMerge task of the Julia registry CI
(traceback pasted below).

I found a similar issue here, but no resolution was found.

Any idea @PMeira ?

ERROR: Error building `OpenDSSDirect`: 
ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: Package Downloads does not have NetworkOptions in its dependencies:
- You may have a partially installed environment. Try `Pkg.instantiate()`
  to ensure all packages in the environment are installed.
- Or, if you have Downloads checked out for development and have
  added NetworkOptions as a dependency but haven't updated your primary
  environment's manifest file, try `Pkg.resolve()`.
- Otherwise you may need to report an issue with Downloads

Weird that it doesn't trigger locally, but it's kinda common for something to break with new Julia releases.

This thread has interesting comments: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/using-download-during-dep-build-julia-v1-11/121393/7

It seems that the next Julia release (v1.11.2) might fix it, but we should move to Downloads.jl anyway.

The plan on DSS-Extensions is to release updates matching the engine next week, but I can try updating the deps on ODD.jl now if it doesn't take too long, since we need to do that sooner or later.

@NLaws Please try v0.9.9, just released
