Comment (by nacin):

 There's a bug in npm-shrinkwrap that prevents the current shrinkwrap from
 being run on Linux platforms. Specifically, fsevents is needed for
 something (haven't bothered to figure out what) but it's macOS only. On
 Linux, nothing is available, and shrinkwrap flips out. There have been
 some attempts to fix it but it pretty much remains broken upstream.

 https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/8707,
 https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/8921,
 https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/10768.

 Possible workaround:
