Hi,

Today I met the same problem.

Running the following docker script

RUN npm install or npm uninstall npm -g

I got the following errors.

Step 15/19 : RUN npm install

here are my registry and proxy settings.

sdancer@AsusROG:/mnt/d/git_projects/dynamic_forms/forms2/docker$ npm config get registry
https://registry.npmjs.org/
sdancer@AsusROG:/mnt/d/git_projects/dynamic_forms/forms2/docker$ npm config get http-proxy
undefined

sdancer@AsusROG:/mnt/d/git_projects/dynamic_forms/forms2/docker$ npm config list
; cli configs
metrics-registry = "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
scope = ""
user-agent = "npm/6.14.4 node/v10.19.0 linux x64"

; builtin config undefined
globalconfig = "/etc/npmrc"
globalignorefile = "/etc/npmignore"
prefix = "/usr/local"

; node bin location = /usr/bin/node
; cwd = /mnt/d/git_projects/dynamic_forms/forms2/docker
; HOME = /home/sdancer
; "npm config ls -l" to show all defaults.

I added to my script the following commands but nothing changed.

# Install packages
RUN npm config delete http-proxy
RUN npm config delete https-proxy

RUN npm config rm proxy
RUN npm config rm https-proxy

RUN set HTTP_PROXY=null
RUN set HTTPS_PROXY=null
RUN npm cache verify
RUN npm install

@debopamgupta Yes I am connected to the internet while doing npm install that maybe the is also an older version already installed.
