Error: shasum check failed when running npm install

[jeroengerits]

I have a similar 'shasum' error on the completely different machines (Osx and Ubuntu) when running 'npm install' in the project root (generator mobile). Sometimes it trows an error on Grunt package, sometimes it trows an error on the Responsive images package (as below).

I've tried to reinstall Nodejs, Npm and Yeoman on both machines to make sure i'm running latest stable versions. Also tried to use some older versions of Nodejs and Npm to make sure it isn't a version conflict. I also did 'npm cache clean' several times, in fact yesterday i tried it on a fresh new installation of Ubuntu with the same negative result.

From what i heard the Npm registry is kinda 'buggy' atm, but i'm not sure if this problem is my fault. Would be great to get some insights or directions where to look for solutions.

Here is the error:

This is a problem with npm.
