Plugin installation fails with a registry fetch error (but the plugin is in the registry). It sometimes succeeds on the second try, as if the first time it didn't wait for the fetch to finish before making sure the plugin exists on disk. Installation of all plugins fails in the same manner, it's not just this one.
Information
Here is the error:
Running command: npm install cordova-plugin-navigationbar-color@0.1.0 --production --no-save
Command finished with error code 0: npm install,cordova-plugin-navigationbar-color@0.1.0,--production,--no-save

Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

Workaround
It seems like the problem occurs because something goes wrong when plugman uses npm 8.5 while being run by execSync (in a script). If I install npm 6.X locally in the project (npm install --save-dev npm@6.14), the plugman script uses that internally and installation succeeds. However, it forces me to downgrade npm to v6 for my whole project instead of staying on npm 8 which is the default for node 16.
Bug Report
Problem
What is expected to happen?
Plugin installation should succeed.
What does actually happen?
Plugin installation fails with a registry fetch error (but the plugin is in the registry). It sometimes succeeds on the second try, as if the first time it didn't wait for the fetch to finish before making sure the plugin exists on disk. Installation of all plugins fails in the same manner, it's not just this one.
