Bug

What is the current behavior?

Cannot run yarn on Travis-CI with 0.17.0

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

Install yarn with the recommended method

https://github.com/MoOx/phenomic/blob/9c63590fad541ff7be9af237954704fe4df88815/.travis.yml#L13-L20

(get 0.17.0)

https://travis-ci.org/MoOx/phenomic/jobs/175953792#L668

Run yarn and wait for failure because of leveldown

https://travis-ci.org/MoOx/phenomic/jobs/175953792#L681

yarn install v0.17.0

What is the expected behavior?

Not fatal error, this was totally ok with 0.16.1 a day before

https://travis-ci.org/MoOx/phenomic/jobs/175489470#L805

(not that if you check my build history, you will find some yarn install passing using 0.17.0 but this was due to travis cache I setup for node_modules. Since I cleaned the cache (for another failure I was suspecting), I cannot make yarn work.

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

$ node --version

v6.9.1

$ npm --version

3.10.8

$ nvm --version

0.32.0

yarn 0.17.0

Until this is fixed, you can temporarily roll back by doing this instead of apt-get install yarn:

wget https://yarnpkg.com/downloads/0.16.1/yarn_0.16.1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i yarn_0.16.1_all.deb

I'll work on keeping multiple versions of Yarn in the Debian repo to make it easier in the future.

Sure that's what I am doing. Thanks!

0.17.3 should fix it, can you please confirm?

@bestander worked for me, but I had to yarn cache clean and blow away my node_modules to get it to work. Just upgrading yarn broke my native packages.
