[lfenzo]

Reproducing directly from the shuffle documentation yields the following:

You are most likely not using DataFrames.jl 1.4.2, which is a current release (and the link you gave is for this release currently).
Can you please check on what version of DataFrames.jl you are?
(and if it is not 1.4.2 can you please report the reason - maybe some other package is holding the update back for you)

Good point! I'm currently using DataFrames 1.3.6:

Since I had recently updated the packages I was expecting most of them to be up to date, however I didn't check it. As you pointed out, it seems that some package is holding back the update.

Thanks @bkamins!
