npm ERR! publish Failed PUT 500

[jfoclpf]

I'm opening this issue because:

• npm is crashing.
• npm is producing an incorrect install.
• npm is doing something I don't understand.
• Other (see below for feature requests):

What's going wrong?

After npm publish I get

npm ERR! publish Failed PUT 500
I already logon again, and the problem persist

How can the CLI team reproduce the problem?

I don't know if you can reproduce, but in my package I get the error when I do

$ npm publish

supporting information:

• npm -v prints: 5.6.0
• node -v prints: v8.9.4
• npm config get registry prints: https://registry.npmjs.org/
• Linux?: Ubuntu
• Network issues:
  • Geographic location where npm was run: Netherlands
  • I use a proxy to connect to the npm registry.
  • I use a proxy to connect to the web.
  • I use a proxy when downloading Git repos.
  • I access the npm registry via a VPN
  • I don't use a proxy, but have limited or unreliable internet access.
