Related to #6761 ?

[zkochan]

No, not related to that issue. See my comment #6761 (comment)

I am not sure I will be able to fix this issue fast. The easiest way for now would be to add a fallback and use the old extraction method if the new one fails.

I meet the same problem, and resolved with the command:

## prune old packages 
pnpm store prune
## find the path  and reomve it.
rm -rf `pnpm store path`
## reinstall
pnpm install

I think it's just retry for flaky behaviour…
