Type error on current HEAD

[vmx]

• Version: 9cbc09c
• Platform: Linux gene 5.9.0-4-amd64 Add to cli: ipfs pin [-r] <ipfs-path> #1 SMP Debian 5.9.11-1 (2020-11-27) x86_64 GNU/Linu
• Subsystem: core

Severity: High

Description:

npm install errors. From the output I can't tell if it's a fatal error (and the installation actually works) or if it's an error that can be ignored.

I checked the source out and ran npm install. It failed with

> ipfs-core@0.5.1 prepare /tmp/js-ipfs/packages/ipfs-core
> aegir build --no-bundle

src/components/block/put.js:85:46 - error TS2345: Argument of type 'Uint8Array | Block' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Uint8Array'.
  Type 'Block' is missing the following properties from type 'Uint8Array': BYTES_PER_ELEMENT, buffer, byteLength, byteOffset, and 26 more.

85         const multihash = await multihashing(block, mhtype)
                                                ~~~~~


Found 1 error.

Command failed with exit code 2: tsc --build /tmp/js-ipfs/packages/ipfs-core/tsconfig-types.aegir.json
lerna info lifecycle ipfs-core@0.5.1~prepare: Failed to exec prepare script

When I run $ npx aegir build --no-bundle directly in packages/ipfs-core, I get the same error. tsc is at version 4.1.3.

I expected that an npm install is successful.

Steps to reproduce the error:

$ git clone https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs 
$ cd js-ipfs
$ npm install

Looks like the types introduced by multiformats/js-multihashing-async#92 went out as a minor which has broken things.
