@kelvinhammond Do you have an idea what goes wrong here? I have the same behaviour with my Ubuntu 22.04! But if I install the libzim with mwoffliner, all OK!

[Utopiah]

FWIW same result on Ubuntu@23.04 (6.2.0-20-generic) npm@v9.6.6 node@v19.9.0

[kelson42]

It seems to be a very fundamental problem, npm view does not work at all for example. I'm puzzled.

[kelson42]

@cscott understood what was going on and I was able to fix this silly error. @Utopiah Thank you for having open this ticket

[Utopiah]

Neat, thanks did work, time to tinker with Zim files now!
