npm install error since 0.14.3

[glendacaine]

Hi

I have just tried installing superagent, but since the upgrade to 0.14.3 I am getting the following errors (0.14.2 is still fine)

According to the https://gemnasium.com/visionmedia/superagent "emitter" latest version is 0.0.2.
In package.json is 1.0.0.
It should be "emitter" or "component/emitter"?

[georgesnelling]

We see a blocking install problem with 0.14.3 on windows only. Osx is fine. on windows, npm cannot find emitter and chokes.

[tj]

did you guys update npm for GH style support?

[tj]

it's "emitter-component" in npm, I forget why someone needed to change it to GH-style, but it's the same project

[georgesnelling]

we're running

node 0.10.4
npm 1.2.18

on both windows and osx. npm install superagent works on osx, chokes on windows complaining it can't find both the dependencies mentioned in the top-line report. haven't had time to grovel the npm commit logs. If its a general npm / windows problem I'm sure the Dear Leader will hear about it soon.

[pwldp]

My problem exists on LInux.
What does it mean: npm in GH-style? It is different npm manager?

[jdesboeufs]

It happens when git is not available.

[tj]

wonder why npm doesn't grab the tarball instead

@visionmedia I'm seeing this issue as well. It can't find a compatible version of component/emitter.

I worked around it by locking superagent at 0.14.2. It's saying it can't find a compatible version.

Interestingly, this works just fine:

$ npm install emitter-component
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/emitter-component
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/emitter-component
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/emitter-component/-/emitter-component-1.0.0.tgz
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/emitter-component/-/emitter-component-1.0.0.tgz
emitter-component@1.0.0 node_modules/emitter-component

[tj]

that dep is only for the client version anyway, this is kind of why npm sucks for both server and client side code, that dep is completely useless for the server end. im going to revert that commit, browserify people will just have to suffer

[tj]

0.14.4

Working like a charm for me in Node again. Thanks.
