error cb() never called!

[leikun1]

I'm opening this issue because:npm is producing an incorrect install.

What's going wrong?

I was trying to run the command npm install ,but I got the error cb() never called!
however the project could install successfully with the command cnpm install.
what's wrong with the npm install

How can the CLI team reproduce the problem?
