This looks like a network connectivity issue between Vercel’s build environment and the npm registry.
Vercel’s status for builds and npm registry are OK.
So what’s wrong? (everything worked fine on my computer, in Europe/Belgium)

Hey, can you share the URL of the project you’re getting this from? We aren’t aware of any known issues.

In the meantime, I managed to deploy via the terminal using vercel deploy first, then vercel --prod. And now it works from the GitHub repo auto-deploy.
I didn’t change anything (just some text in a .tsx file).

Which project? Which URL?
I guess the URL of the Vercel project I created is useless (ex: foo.vercel.app).
My app was a basic clone of Next.js SaaS Starter, with only these changes:

package.json
```
“engines”: { “node”: “22.x” },
“packageManager”: “pnpm@10.10.0”,
`
vercel.json
```
{ “installCommand”: “pnpm install” }
```

I cannot reproduce this unfortunately.

Are you using Corepack?

6

No, I’m not using Corepack

7

We don’t support pinning packageManager without Corepack unfortunately. Could you try enabling Corepack and let us know if you are still experiencing this issue?

As I said…

So it was just because of packageManager?
Why did it work via vercel deploy but not via push on GitHub?
