Description

APM does not work. I know for a fact that at least search, install, and apm --version don't work. list and remove do work. I've found some issues with this exact error, but their solutions don't work for me.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install atom on Manjaro (Linux 5.10) with sudo pacman -Syu atom
2. Install a package in atom or from the command line, as an example you could do apm install teletype. This will error out

Expected behavior:

The package to be installed

Actual behavior:

I get this error when installing packages with apm install [package_name]:

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:478
      throw e;
      ^

Update: When I downgrade npm to 6.14.11 it seems to work. Not sure if I should close the issue so I'm going to leave it open for now

Are you using the official binaries downloaded from atom.io or it is an unofficial unsupported Atom?

+1 downgrade npm to 6.14.11 didn't help

I think I remember seeing some issue that said the atom package in the official arch repositories isn't actually official, which is what I am using currently. I tried to build it from source and use that but if i remember correctly I was some issue with apm or packages. I'll try again today and tell you how it goes

I was having trouble building it from source this time, but I got it to work with the latest version of NPM. What I did was download the deb from https://atom.io and converted it to an arch package with the debtap program. After installing debtap, you should run sudo debtap -u and then debtap path/to/atom.deb. Input the packager name and MIT for the license, and when it asks you if you want to edit the PKGINFO file, select your text editor. Now you need to remove 2 dependencies, kde-runtime and tuxedo-control-center, and then save the PKGINFO file. After it finishes making the package, just run sudo pacman -U path/to/atom.pkg.tar.zst to install atom.
