    This is so frustrating, especially when the compiler error is because you've some how ended up with a dll that the package manager also installs (eg: Unity Ads, a previous version of TMP when upgrading a project...etc).

    If there's a conflict like this, the package manager is no longer available (doesn't even appear in the Window tool menu), making it frustrating to fix. Why on earth does the package manager rely on a successful compile?!

    Hi, we're actively working on converting the Package Manager UI back into a core module so that it is built along with the Editor. This will make the window available despite compilation errors. This issue has also been reported in this thread https://forum.unity.com/threads/package-manager-is-missing.557854

    Regards,
    Benoit
