As reported in #1214 (comment)

I'm getting this issue on version 0.24.5.
I have some packages that i developed and they are not published on any server, they are just linked.
My projects uses this linked packages and some published packages like express or bluebird.
when I try to run "yarn" to install all or a specific package it returns the error:

error Couldn't find package "package-name" on the "npm" registry

steps to reproduce:

cd path/to/a-dev-package
yarn link
cd path/to/a/project
yarn link a-dev-package
yarn add bluebird
it returns :
error Couldn't find package "a-dev-package" on the "npm" registry
