Could not install from ethereumjs-abi as it does not contain a package.json file.

[StillFantastic]

When I run npm install, I got and error message:

npm ERR! Could not install from "node_modules/eth-sig-util/ethereumjs-abi@git+https:/github.com/ethereumjs/ethereumjs-abi.git" as it does not contain a package.json file.

In my package-lock.json's eth-sig-util section, I see:

    "eth-sig-util": {
      "version": "1.4.2",
      "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/eth-sig-util/-/eth-sig-util-1.4.2.tgz",
      "integrity": "sha1-jZWCAsftuq6Dlwf7pvCf8ydgYhA=",
      "requires": {
        "ethereumjs-abi": "ethereumjs-abi@git+https://github.com/ethereumjs/ethereumjs-abi.git",
        "ethereumjs-util": "^5.1.1"
      },

It works If I delete ethereumjs-abi@ before git+https, but it shows up again if I run npm install, not sure if it is a bug?

is this a duplicate of #134 ? that issue refers to ethereumjs-abi being deprecated, which i assumed is the reason this package is causing npm install to fail.

fwiw i'm running into this issue too. if anyone has advice for how to avoid the failure i'd appreciate it. this package is like 2-3 downstream from my project so kinda hard to fix directly on my end.

Thanks for the report! Unfortunately we don't support v1.x anymore. Please update to v2 or v3 - this problem should be fixed in both v2.5.4 and v3.0.1.
