If Julia crashes when installing packages than often the package repo becomes corrupt.

The package repo is usually located at the .julia folder in your HOME directory (unless JULIA_DEPOT_PATH system variable points to a different location). Delete the .julia folder completely and restart Julia.

This implies reinstalling all packages and compile everything again. Isn't there any less dramatic solution?

perhaps you might try to delete the packages from .julia/compiled and try editing *.toml files in the .julia/environments folder. I always preferred to reinstall from scratch
