Yarn add fails with scoped packages

[gergelyke]

Steps to reproduce

yarn add @risingstack/trace

It fails with:

[1/4] 🔍  Resolving packages...
[2/4] 🚚  Fetching packages...
[3/4] 🔗  Linking dependencies...
error Couldn't find a package.json file in "/Users/gergelyke/Development/risingstack/trace/yarn-test/node_modules/@risingstack/event-loop-stats/node_modules/node-pre-gyp"

Test environment

Node.js 8.1.2
Yarn 0.24.5
OSX Sierra

Simplifying the problem, yarn add node-pre-gyp results in the dependency coming down without a package.json file and an unexpected, empty node_modules directory inside the installed package.

@gergelyke Thanks for open issues and cross-linking them. I'm seeing lots of upvotes already on the trace package. Have you been able to do any additional debugging?

Note to triage: Issue replicated under [email protected] as well.

Is it because event-loop-stats has a bundledDependency without a package.json?

[bestander]

Can repro this with

yarn add @risingstack/event-loop-stats
