NPM install fails on pipeline

[Diwakar Chapagain]

I have a pipeline it used to work fine but now suddenly npm install fails. Any help on fixing this would be great 

Below is the sample of the error stack

Figured out, it was happening because of a package being removed or de-linked from a repo.

How did you figure out the package that was causing the issue? I am facing the same error as you have mentioned above and would be useful to understand how you found the package causing the problem. 

[Diwakar Chapagain]

I tried installing locally with the --verbose flag on, that gave me error which was the package being removed in the npm repo. I use private repo not public NPM. 

[Shreya Subramaniam]

thank you :)

How did you fix the issue?  Did you have to manually remove the package somehow?
