Error parsing major identifier

Is there file or directory in ~/.cache/dfinity/versions/ that doesn’t look like a dfx version?

no, all looks good

❯ ls
0.8.3 0.8.4 0.8.5
 ~/.cache/dfinity/versions

If you try with dfx 0.8.6 (or even 0.8.5), dfx might display a little more information about the error, because it uses a slightly newer version of the semver crate.

Otherwise I would try ls -a ~/.cache/dfinity/versions in case there is some file not being shown by ls.

drwxr-xr-x  17 moritz  staff   544 Jan 14 13:58 0.8.5

after removing the .DS_Store it works as expected.
