Just had this problem; I believe deleting the package-lock.json file and having it recreate itself fixed it for me (make a backup just in case)
Deleting and re-'npm install'ing does regenerate the package-lock.json file with the proper 2.0.4 version of pinkie, just needs it committed so as to not fail after a fresh checkout.
I got this as well
npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found: pinkie@https://registry.npmjs.org/pinkie/-/pinkie-2.0.5.tgz
rm package-lock.jso fixed it as well
