PyPlot cannot be used on Julia 1.7.2

I have just updated/upgraded my whole system and now I have Julia 1.7.2
I have updated the packages of Julia and they seem to be downloaded fine, and there are no complaints after using the
`add PyPlot` on the Pkg interface.
But If I try:
```
using PyPlot
```

I get the following error:

```
using PyPlot, DelimitedFiles, JLD

┌ Info: Precompiling PyPlot [d330b81b-6aea-500a-939a-2ce795aea3ee]
└ @ Base loading.jl:1423

signal (6): Abortado
in expression starting at /home/karel/.julia/packages/PyPlot/XaELc/src/PyPlot.jl:4
```
And then the usual gibberish ending with:

```
