npm publish failing with 'User not found <package-name>'

Question

I'm pretty stuck trying to publish a package -- I've tried it both from local file system and github repos url - same issue.

I've created a detailed issue on the github npm repo here, but I'm getting crickets.

Wonder if someone here might scan the issue and help me out?

Thanx.

Per comment from Ibis Liven (github NPM issue #19404), I created an account on the NPM website and then the publish worked from the command line as expected.

Seems the adduser command is broken.
