[io.js] Installation stuck at copying extracted PhantomJS files

[gsklee]

I've tried to install UnCSS on a few devboxes and every first attempt on installing the package would all stuck at a certain point:

Downloading https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-1.9.8-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
Saving to /tmp/phantomjs/phantomjs-1.9.8-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
Receiving...
  [================================--------] 81% 0.0s

Extracting tar contents (via spawned process)
Removing /home/kay/Projects/yoker/node_modules/gulp-uncss/node_modules/uncss/node_modules/phantomjs/lib/phantom
Copying extracted folder /tmp/phantomjs/phantomjs-1.9.8-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2-extract-1422171886267/phantomjs-1.9.8-linux-x86_64 -> /home/kay/Projects/yoker/node_modules/gulp-uncss/node_modules/uncss/node_modules/phantomjs/lib/phantom

Then it would always stuck. I was able to ctrl+C and rerun the installation to get it through, but if it goes on like this there will be troubles deploying the project to production server in an automatic manner.

Confirmed that this is an io.js (v1.0.4) specific problem; didn't happen when I used the latest node unstable version.

This issue Medium/phantomjs#275 (comment) seems to point to ncp being the culprit; so yes, indeed this does look like an io.js issue and not something we can fix in UnCSS.

Ok cool, thanks!
