I am still new to ReactJS,
I hope you can help me,
thanks.

Answer 1

This can happen if a library has an invalid package.json file. In my case, the library (my own) had an illegal version number.

Answer 2

This error occurs when you have a library listed as your dependency but it does not actually exist due to some reason.
