Npm.require() is broken

[hipertracker]

It looks like Npm.require() has a serious bug. I need to download ReactJS with addons. In CommonJS it is as simple as require('react/addons'). Unfortunately, this type of syntax does not work in Meteor. Using Npm.require('react/addons') is complaining about missing dependencies. But there is no any dependency needed here. There is no NPM package called 'react/addons'.

I'm a little surprised by this. Can you show a reproduction? See https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Contributing-to-Meteor#reporting-a-bug-in-meteor

Npm.require('react') works as expected. But try to use Npm.require('react/addons'). Meteor cannot resolve such package name.
