npm Debug package override not applying

[ben657]

Installing npm:debug@^2.6.0 isn't pulling the override from npm/[email protected] into my package.json. Doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the override file, not sure what would be wrong on my end though.

Try

$ jspm install npm:debug@^2.6.0 --force --override

Let me know if that resolves the issue. I tried with a new project and it works as expected.

Using that force does work fine, odd that it wouldn't work in the first place though right?

Yes, that is odd, but you may have had an existing override.

It should not be necessary in general but it may have been cached incorrectly (for example by on older version of JSPM). This does happen from time to time and is clearly undesirable. It is not related to this specific package or to the registry I would think.
