Cannot unregister package #140

Closed tgelu closed 8 years ago

tgelu commented 9 years ago

This is most likely an enhancement because it took me some time to figure out the solution to the following: I have registered a package and after some time I have decided to delete the repo on github but forgot to unregister the package from bower. When I decided to do that also I got bower EFORBIDDEN Must be a collaborator on GitHub.com repository which confused me for a while until I remembered to check if the repository exists, then create an empty one with the same name, then unregister the bower package and then delete the newly created repo.

Maybe a more detailed error message will help others :)

Yes, this is a weird edge case. Typically, we ask that you submit a new issue so that I can manually delete the package in the registry. Your solution works just as well. Thanks for reporting it! :whale:
