Bundlephobia Error: InstallError

[LucaBlackDragon]

I'm hitting this error building a TS library:

}

The offending line ("tail: invalid option -- 1") looks to be this one in the package-build-stats library.

What do you think?
Should I open an issue there?

Yeah that looks like an upstream error. Please open an issue with package-build-stats. Also, what version of node and npm are you using? I'm using node v14.17 and npm v7.12 and I haven't hit this error.

[LucaBlackDragon]

Sorry I forgot to mention that:
node v16.13.1 (LTS)
npm v8.3.0
Anyway, I'll open an issue on package-build-stats, thanks!

[rafgraph]

I think the node/npm version is causing it, which is unfortunate because you're using LTS. It doesn't look like package-build-stats is maintained too often, so I'll have to remove it from rollpkg if it's not fixed because it should work with LTS.

I'm going to reopen this issue in case other people get this error. If you could link to the package-build-stats issue here that would be great, thanks.
