I cannot explain your experience. But there is no doubt that this package exists and is loadable. Closing for lack of information that leads to this result.

I get the same error.

Invalid name: "@angular/common"

node 5.2.0
npm 3.3.12

After some digging into the problem, I found this discussion in angular repo: angular/angular#8464. It seems like upgrading npm version should help.

I just built the latest and get the same exact problem.
npm 4.1.2
node 7.5.0

I'm getting the same problem.

Here's my package.json:

{
  "name": "foo",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/common": "latest"
  }
}

Here's the output from running npm install (includes npm version and node version):

@moonmaster9000 Updating npm to latest (4.5.0) helped in my case.
