[BUG] Package gets not deleted correctly

[Lueton]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

• I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

I published a package with version 1.0.0. After that i deleted the package. Not visible anymore. Then i published the same package again with version 1.0.0. Publishing failed with error "cannot publish over previously published". Besides that my npmjs page showed "Packages (1)" but there was no package displayed.

Expected Behavior

• It should be possible to publish the same package with the same version after it has been deleted.
• The package should be displayed on the npmjs page

Steps To Reproduce

1. Publish package with version 1.0.0
2. Delete package
3. Publish package again with version 1.0.0
4. See error...

Environment

It’s never possible to reuse a version number, ever. It would be a security problem if you could.
