Can you post your whole bower.json? Thanks.

I am also getting this error. My bower.json is below. I solved the issue by removing the "main": "" property.

{
  "name": "test",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "authors": [
    "Dannie F"
  ],
  "description": "test (Meteor POC)",
  "main": "",
  "moduleType": [],
  "license": "MIT",
  "homepage": "",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "quagga": "~0.7.0"
  },
  "overrides": {
    "quagga": {
      "arch": [ "client" ]
    }
  }
}

I think someone came to ask me about a similar error at the Meteor Hackathon

Is the issue fixed by the new version 1.5.2_1?

[ArthurJahn]

the issue is still happening with version 1.5.2_1 and bower 1.7.2.

I also got this error and was also able to resolve it by removing the "main": "" property generated by bower init.
