[hemedani]

I'm updating the package after that my pc has a unexpectedly shutdown and then package do not work...
I'm trying to remove and reinstall package but the atom it's not able to find and remove package so I'm running apm rebuild and apm rebuild-module-cache after that package removing and I can't installed again.
when i want's to install whit this command : apm install file-icons it's throw this error :

after cleaning npm cache with npm cache clean issues still appear

NPM? God, this sounds like an issue with npm rather than apm.

Close Atom, and try this:

cd ~/.atom/packages
rm -rf file-icons
git clone https://github.com/DanBrooker/file-icons.git
apm link file-icons

Does that work?

[hemedani]

It's throw this error Linking /home/abrfa/.atom/packages/file-icons to /home/abrfa/.atom/packages/file-icons failed: EEXIST, file already exists '/home/abrfa/.atom/packages/file-icons'
but the package working ...

[Alhadis]

This actually sounds like an issue with NPM or APM.

Is there anything cached in ~/.atom/.apm/file-icons/? Atom appears to use that directory to store cached versions, so it might've created the folder and timed out during a transfer. Now there's a partial folder there making it think the version's already installed.

total 40
drwxrwxr-x   6 abrfa abrfa  4096 مه    21 11:21 ./
drwxrwxr-x 470 abrfa abrfa 20480 مه    21 13:04 ../

Haha, it's no problem, mate. =) Always a pleasure to help.

Alright, wipe those folders out. Just to make sure this is what's caused the issue, please close Atom and run the following (after the cache is empty):

cd ~/.atom/packages
apm unlink file-icons
rm -rf file-icons
apm install file-icons

Let me know if that works.
