Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  This ticket is old and stale and the original issue seems fixed. 'node-gyp' and 'semver' became pacman deps at npm 5.8.0-1

Maybe you already know this workaround: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Node.js_#node-gyp_python_errors

`npm link` somehow doesn't work during package() since recent versions. But this shouldn't cause real errors. Please correct me if it does, though.

Any chance to fix npm link?
Comment by Luca Franceschini (LucaFranceschini) - Thursday, 20 September 2018, 10:41 GMT
Cannot reproduce the first error, but the node-gyp error is still there.
In order to reproduce it is enough have a clean installation.
Comment by Luca Franceschini (LucaFranceschini) - Wednesday, 03 October 2018, 10:19 GMT
Is moving to node-gyp directory and running npm install a sensible temporary workaround?

Thanks Luca, I think it's a very sensible workaround.

I might be wrong. As this post suggests( https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/1341#issuecomment-20634338 ): if we decide to first install both semver and node-pyg, they better be the required versions by npm. Because if their version numbers do not match, when npm is being installed, npm will not again install both packages as sub-dependencies(it believes the top-level packages are already the ones it requires, but they are outdated).
Actually I upgraded node-pyg and npm today to be node-pyg@5.0.3 and npm@6.12.0, while as the package.json of npm@6.12.0 suggests it needs node-pyg@5.0.5. I do not understand the point of setting semver and node-pyg as dependencies of npm in arch repo, as they now sit as top-level packages.
