Just in case it helps, I encountered the same error trying to pull @xtuc/long@4.2.1 (as a dependency of different package) and it turned out I had ~/.npmrc file that had some settings to use artifactory which for some reason interfered with pulling this package. renaming this file solved the issue (although it’s not a permanent solution… )

@raDiesle Clearing ~/.npmrc completely fixed it for me.
