Error: unknown package: npm-container

See original GitHub issue

I’ve stumbled upon an error trying to run on a Linux box an app that is running fine on OSX. I doubt it’s due to the architecture. It would probably fail on a different Mac as well.

The error is the following:

tanis@samantha:~/soulvenir-meteor$ meteor
Figuring out the best package versions to use. This may take a moment.
Refreshing package metadata. This may take a moment.
Could not resolve the specified constraints for this project:
Error: unknown package: npm-container

works for me:

remove from .meteor/packages line npm-container
run meteor again

This solution does not work when deploying with meteor up though, so it’s quite troublesome. I think the only solution to that is to actually keep the node modules committed.
