Reverting to yarn 0.16.1 fixed my issue.
I hope the trace is helping.

[kossnocorp]

Locking to 0.16.1 helped me too

[antongb]

OsX
node v6.6.0
npm 3.10.8
yarn 0.16.1

after running npm uninstall -g yarn and npm i -g yarn@0.16.1 was getting the following error:

antons-MBP:yarn anton$ yarn
/Users/anton/.nvm/versions/node/v6.6.0/lib/node_modules/yarn/bin/yarn.js:48
      throw err;
      ^

fixed by going to /Users/anton/.nvm/versions/node/v6.6.0/lib/node_modules/yarn/bin/yarn.js and changing possibles.push('../updates/current/lib/cli/index.js'); to possibles.push('../updates/0.16.1/lib/cli/index.js');

[juliankrispel]

👍 reverting to 0.16.1 fixed it for me thanks

[kostasmanionis]

Or you could remove the ~/.yarn/.roadrunner.json file after rollbacking.

[simonihmig]

I can confirm this. Happens for me with a github dependency. Here is the error.log:
yarn-error.txt

Reverting to 0.16.1 fixed this as well.

[kuntau]

👍 reverting to 0.16.1 give no error

[matoilic]

Same issue here with yarn 0.17. Reverting back to 0.16.1 and deleting ~/.yarn/.roadrunner.json resolved the issue.

[derkjn]

Same issue with yarn 0.17.2

[thomaschaaf]

This is a duplicate of #1834

[johannesschobel]

this issue still occurs from time to time in the 16.x and 17.x version of yarn.. haven't found a reliable and reproducible way to demonstrate it. And even worse - haven't found a proper solution to fix / address this issue..

[zlocate]

Use yarn at wsl debian and 2/3 installs had this error v1.17.3.
Sometimes helps purge yarn cache folder or run yarn as root (sudo)

[jomiojeda]

Same happened here on v1.19.1
fixed after
yarn cache clean

[gitowiec]

I tried @jomiojeda advice but to no avail :(
I'm using Yarn 1.19.1 on Ubuntu 18.04.
@bestander This bug should be opened.

[kennethlynne]

I'm having this issue, and yarn cache clean did not improve anything. Using yarn 1.19.1, node 10.15.3

[cyptus]

got this issue when multiple agents were running builds at once and the cache directory was shared (AppData). Solved by changing the cache directory into the agents working directory.

[rekliner]

Also having this issue when multiple agents run builds simultaneously (envoyer.io). Separating cache directories with yarn config set cache-folder <unique dir> before running yarn is not preventing it in my case because the command is global and immediate so it steals the cache directory away from other sites that may be mid-launch. However sharing a directory almost always fails too.

[C-o-d-e-C-o-w-b-o-y]

having this now

[3h4x]

hitting this very often on our gh runner
yarn 1.22.19
node v20.0.0

[malmo-east]

Still have this issue. Using yarn 1.22.19 with node v18.17.1 on Mac

[sorenwacker]

Same on 5.4.0-58-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 9 08:16:25 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux yarn 1.22.19
