Yarn: Could not find package XXX in the registry "npm".

[R1cro]

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

I'm reporting a bug.

What is the current behavior?
I'm trying to set packages during the yarn add

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

I try to install packages during yarn add, but it seems that sometimes it returns me errors like "Could not find package" XXX "in the registry" npm ".

I had this problem last Saturday and I thought that I had problems with the system. Nevertheless, I was convinced that the problem is not on my side, as I tried to execute this command with two different machines (and different networks).

I'm getting this in the UK. VPN does not affect it. I'm trying to use it with github package registry configured as such :

registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com/OWNER

[AndreyPatseiko]

I don't understand how this work, but after yarn init I can install all packages.

[sebastiangug]

That does not do anything for me.

[PavelDemyanenko]

Same behaviour on yarn install, and npm install works as expected.

Error: Couldn't find package "some packege" on the "npm" registry. VPN is configured.

Thats fixed it :v

[zeroidentidad]

[R1cro]

Hey, guys. Seems to be the problems disappeared. Could somebody confirm that, please?

[andrewoh531]

I'm still getting this error with @types/storybook__react. The package is deprecated but I'm trying to pull down a previous version.

This works fine with npm.

error Couldn't find package "storybook__react@*" required by "@types/storybook__react@*" on the "npm" registry.

[elie222]

@andrewoh531 I just ran into the same issue. I ended up removing @types/storybook__react and a deprecated package that was depending on it. I think it was knob_addons types.
