Not fetching any packages

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.
I'm using a package from git, I'm not sure if this is what actually makes this bug happen, but, it appears in console log.

{
  ...
  "devDependencies": {
    "gulp": "git+https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp.git#4.0",
  }
  ...
}

What is the expected behavior?
Fetch packages

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

yarn cache clean before yarn install or yarn upgrade does not work

I also experienced this issue.

This workaround was successful for me:
yarn install --cache-folder ./yarn-cache
