Yeah, this is expected, apm is not a package published to atom.io, it is a library published to npmjs.org

We could special-case this though to make it easier to hack on apm.

Ah okay, I had a feeling it was something like that.

I think making it a special case seems like a good idea - if it turns out that isn't the best route, I think the best compromise would be to display a warning and help text for the preferred way to hack on apm.
