I found versioning up from 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 of path-exists(*) in package-lock.json.
*) not only path-exists, but also untildify, xdg-basedir, ...
but these packages do not have 4.0.1 version.

I guess that it was accidentally updated when upgraded the core-ui version to 4.0.1.

you are probably right
I replaced "4.0.1" with "4.0.0" in package-lock.json except for coreui version and had no errors with npm install
