I get the same issue.

Same here. Appears the tarball is missing on npmjs.

GET https://registry.npmjs.org/karma/-/karma-0.10.6.tgz

{"error":"not_found","reason":"Document is missing attachment"}

[ncancelliere]

Hmm, even trying to go back a bit: npm install -g [email protected] (same with 0.10.4, even @canary)

I get the following missing tar balls:

npm http 404 https://registry.npmjs.org/karma-phantomjs-launcher/-/karma-phantomjs-launcher-0.1.1.tgz
npm http 404 https://registry.npmjs.org/karma-firefox-launcher/-/karma-firefox-launcher-0.1.1.tgz

Yeah - because karma has just specified all of its dependencies as * it will always try to get the latest versions... which is bad.

Can karma's dependencies be updated so that they're not * - this would at least allow people to rollback to previous versions successfully.

[jkintscher]

Getting the exact same error and output as above that prevents me from installing my package with "karma": "~0.11". It worked just a few hours ago.

Same error here.

It just worked for me. Try again and see if it’s revolved for you guys as well. Probably some glitch of npmjs.org, eh?

[dstevenson]

Looks good now for me too.

[mhart]

Yep, good for me too now as well 👍

[vojtajina]

Guys, I'm sorry, but this is just NPM being retarded (see https://github.com/isaacs/npm/issues/4205). I have no idea what happend. I force pushed it again and it's good now.

Instead of specifying versions, we gonna remove the peerDeps, see #767.

[mhart]

@vojtajina I'd say your original publish must have only half-succeeded (npm has been wobbly of late) - hence the tarball not being attached.

Being able to safely rollback for users in cases like this would be reeeeeally helpful, so removing any * dependencies would be great!

[ncancelliere]

Thank you for resolving this so quickly. I too can confirm it's working. I think mhart has some good points though about avoiding * dependencies, so users can use older versions confidently.

[vojtajina]

@mhart Yep, I'm gonna remove the "peerDependencies" in 0.12 see #767.

[victorliun]

Hi Guy.

I just changed the registry to http version by

npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/
That works for me. Hope can help someone.

[dm89]

I am having this issue now. Any suggestions?
