Failing to load FixedPointNumbers

[aviks]

I am seeing this in JuliaBox. julia-0.4-rc2

Doing a using FixedPointNumber throws:

INFO: Recompiling stale cache file /home/juser/.julia/lib/v0.4/FixedPointNumbers.ji for module FixedPointNumbers.
WARNING: Module Compat uuid did not match cache file
WARNING: deserialization checks failed while attempting to load cache from /home/juser/.julia/lib/v0.4/FixedPointNumbers.ji

Doing a using Compat succeeds. Pkg.status is as follows:

It's not obvious this needs fixing here: both FixedPointNumbers and its lone dependency, Compat, have precompile declarations. Related to JuliaLang/julia#13200?

This is dup of JuliaLang/julia#13200.
