I also have a similar issue on a Dockerfile with node:18-alpine while doing pnpm install. I'm using nx but it's not related. I'm having the same problem with the pnpm install command on Github Action.

Here is the log with this option for pnpm --reporter ndjson

#13 274.9 {"time":1672248140051,"hostname":"buildkitsandbox","pid":1,"level":"warn","name":"pnpm:package-requester","message":"Fetching github.com/ethereumjs/ethereumjs-abi/ee3994657fa7a427238e6ba92a84d0b529bbcde0 failed!","prefix":"/home/node"}
#13 274.9 {"time":1672248140053,"hostname":"buildkitsandbox","pid":1,"level":"error","name":"pnpm","code":"ERR_PNPM_PREPARE_PKG_FAILURE","nam

Looking at the log and my pnpm-lock.yaml it appears @coinbase/wallet-sdk is using deprecated packages, the one causing the issue iseth-sig-util:

/eth-sig-util/1.4.2:
    resolution: {integrity: sha512-iNZ576iTOGcfllftB73cPB5AN+XUQAT/T8xzsILsghXC1o8gJUqe3RHlcDqagu+biFpYQ61KQrZZJza8eRSYqw==}
    deprecated: Deprecated in favor of '@metamask/eth-sig-util'
    dependencies:

@sebpalluel have you found a solution?

@sebpalluel have you found a solution?

I just found a solution thanks to this post
The build is passing now on my project with this commit so it should work for you also by adding this to your package.json:

"pnpm": {
    "overrides": {
      "ethereumjs-abi": "https://registry.npmjs.org/ethereumjs-abi/-/ethereumjs-abi-0.6.8.tgz"
    }
  }

This was an issue with pnpm 7.20. Please upgrade to 7.21.

This was an issue with pnpm 7.20. Please upgrade to 7.21.

FYI I still have the same issue when removing the pnpm overrides with pnpm@7.21.0:

With normal reporter: https://app.warp.dev/block/r8w9gWV8MMFOfl8PukUlb6
With reporter ndjson: https://app.warp.dev/block/UMqI342kgOeUkSL4pGyIb1

And here's the Dockerfile:

FROM node:18-alpine as deps

RUN apk add --no-cache git
## set global npm path to node user to avoid permission error when installing global packages (pnpm)
ENV NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=/home/node/.npm-global
ENV PATH=$PATH:/home/node/.npm-global/bin

USER node
WORKDIR /home/node

COPY --chown=node package.json pnpm-lock.yaml ./
RUN npm install -g pnpm@7.21.0 && pnpm install --ignore-scripts --reporter ndjson

@jxom same error on 7.21. Just a note, I tried on a black project on a linux envirioment and the error don't appear. Could it be a windows related error?

[francesco-gaglione]

Solution found upgrading to 7.22

[sebpalluel]

Solution found upgrading to 7.22

Same here, build are now passing without the override because ethereumjs-abi is resolved correctly.
