From the Github issue:

> Beginning at 18:36 GMT today, 106 packages were made unavailable from the registry. 97 of them were restored immediately. Unfortunately, people published over 9 of them, causing delays in the restoration of those 9. We are continuing to clean up the overpublications. All installations that depend on the 106 packages should now be working.

Hard to believe less than a hundred packages cause so many issues. NPM's dependency hierarchy is pretty insane.

Ever heard of glibc?


What was the root cause?
