I’m getting a really annoying error that’s preventing me from installing most packages. Some random person on stackoverflow solved their related issue with deleting node_modules but that doesn’t help me. Forcefully clearing or repairing npm cache also does not help at all.

This has only started happening in the past few months.

This is the referenced log file.

There are definitely a lot of packages in this project, but I can’t even install simple stuff. Running npm i --save-dev eslint @arcticzeroo/eslint-config fails in https://github.com/ArcticZeroo/webserver-module-msu after either has been installed once before for me.

npm is pretty much unusable for me right now, and I have to use yarn to install modules. Which sucks because yarn is also weird and runs extra random commands from my package.json after I install things…
