Update: I do not have yarn installed in my laptop. I think this is the culprit, but I was not able to test it since I already did manual upgrade.

I have to close this issue guys. I was able to upgrade manually, using the "Show me how to upgrade!". It took me a couple of hours. It would be nice if you can copy the content easily, because the normal block and copy includes the number on the left.
The dependencies I will leave that out of here. But the basic program at react-native init worked.
But whoever encounter this issue, let us know here if just because yarn is not installed.

I'm seeing the same thing, currently on 0.59.10 and trying to get to 0.60.5 and getting the same errors:

Maybe you have connection issues, or are behind a vpn or something?

otherwise, there's always this: https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.59.10&to=0.60.5

Don't think there's connection issue and I'm not using a vpn.

[thymikee]

@xuan9230 maybe it's a proxy. See: react-native-community/cli#707 for details

@rendomnet you are using an old version of the cli. make sure you use the latest. also probably it will be easier for you to use the upgrade-helper, and do go to 60 before going to 61.

@halabe15 did you try the comment right above yours?

[jamieallen59]

To reiterate what @pvinis said as I missed it on first reading too:

If you're on a version <= 0.59.10 and want to go to e.g. 0.61, you need to upgrade to 0.60 first, then you can run the upgrader to get up to 0.61.
