Installing any old package that has [email protected] (the latest) as a dependency (direct or transitive) will fail due to this package's (unnecessary) attempt to contact blip.strongloop.com, which doesn't even exist in DNS any more.

In my case, trying to get the docs from an old version of AWS Amplify ([email protected]) was impossible because of the dependency ([email protected] -> @aws-amplify/[email protected] -> [email protected]).

error Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND blip.strongloop.com
