RN 0.54.0 RC 3 can't be installed with npm

Is this a bug report?

Yes

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines?

Yes

Environment

react-native info
Command `info` unrecognized. Make sure that you have run `npm install` and that you are inside a react-native project.

Custom filled environment: Environment: OS: macOS Sierra 10.12.6 (16G1212) Node: 9.5.0 Yarn: - npm: 5.6.0 Watchman: 4.9.0 Xcode: Xcode 9.2 Build version 9C40b

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add "react-native": "0.54.0-rc.3" as dependency to package.json
2. npm install

Expected Behavior

Have react-native package inside node_modules folder.

Actual Behavior

npm ERR! code EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL
npm ERR! Unsupported URL Type "npm:": npm:babylon@^7.0.0-beta

Cause

Actually this is result of incorrect dependency format in metro npm package: https://github.com/facebook/metro/issues/142

As it is critical bug for RN, I created this issue to be sure that release of 0.54.0 will not happen until metro deps will be fixed.

@suuzee Yes, you are right ))) I can use yarn… Also I can fork & fix broken modules same way as I use patched RN… But I hope that it will not be needed. Using yarn is not an option for me.
