Seeing failures like this on Julia 1.12.1:

ERROR: LoadError: Unknown package: Preferences

Looks like this was a side effect of JuliaLang/julia#59212

I've made an issue in the Julia repo about this: JuliaLang/julia#60077

Do we gain anything by attempting to precompile indirect dependencies on other Julia versions? Won't those get precompiled automatically anyway when the direct dependencies are precompiled?

I thought about this and I think the original intent was to just be explicit about the packages we care about precompiling. Just passing in the direct dependencies should be good enough. If there is a corner case where being explicit about all dependencies is required then our tests currently don't catch that. As this is intended to just be a bugfix limiting the change to just 1.12.1+ should allow us to catch scenarios we haven't considered without breaking older Julia versions.
