Web3.js: npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ tar.gz module has been deprecated and your application is vulnerable.

I get this warning while installing web3

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ tar.gz module has been deprecated and your application is vulnerable. Please use tar module instead: https://npmjs.com/tar

I'd consider updating the dependencies.

Cheers!

I'm getting this:

$ npm list -prod

npm ERR! missing: tar.gz@^1.0.5, required by [email protected]
npm ERR! missing: websocket@git://github.com/frozeman/WebSocket-Node.git#browserifyCompatible, required by [email protected]

fails to build

This is caused by swarm-js not web3. Issue has been raised on that repo (https://github.com/MaiaVictor/swarm-js/issues/10) so this can be closed.

Please change the dependency of swarm-js from 37 to 39.
Swarm-js has already been updated.

Thanks
