Cli: npm publish 404 Not Found - PUT

[1000i100]

The nearest issue is #1626 but it's about using npm to get package, and it look solved for most user.
Here it's about npm publishing package in CI, and it's not solved for now.

Current Behavior:

https://framagit.org/1000i100/g1lien/-/jobs/1072053

$ npm publish
[...]
npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found - PUT https://registry.npmjs.org/g1link - Not found
npm ERR! 404 
npm ERR! 404  '[email protected]' is not in the npm registry.
npm ERR! 404 You should bug the author to publish it (or use the name yourself!)
npm ERR! 404 
npm ERR! 404 Note that you can also install from a

Expected Behavior:

Successful publish of my package from docker in gitlab-CI with npm_token authentication.
(it works yesterday on my laptop with npm login, but not with npm_token in CI).

Steps To Reproduce:

ex. steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Fork this : https://framagit.org/1000i100/g1lien
2. change the package name and add your npm token
3. push it with a tag on a gitlab with CI active.

It should reproduce the problem.

Environment:

https://framagit.org/1000i100/g1lien/-/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml#L5
https://framagit.org/1000i100/g1lien/-/jobs/1072052#L17

Same error.

Last release 30.07 was successful. But since 11.08 I get this error when publish:

I was trying to npm publish from a new machine and got the same unexpected 404. In my case it was solved by an npm login. I understand that a 401 could "leak" the presence of a private package, but I would think the CLI would first check to see whether I was authenticated first and respond with a more appropriate error.

Here is the relevant portion of the log when I tried to npm publish before npm login:

Yeah, npm login helps. A few days ago I discovered this too. But still it is not clear why I had to re-authorize
Npm should improve their error messages.
